Showdown in Virginia: The 1861 Convention and the Fate of the Union
In the spring of 1861, Virginians confronted destiny. Pivotal decisions awaited about secession, the consequences of which would unfold for a hundred years and more. But few Virginians wanted to decide at all. Instead, they talked, almost interminably. This title offers a collection of speeches by men for whom everything was at risk.
