Shenandoah: Daughter of the Stars - Hardcover

The Shenandoah Valley, a lush and elegant work of nature that rests between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains, has been the scene of many important historic events. It is famous for Revolutionary and Civil War battles as well as its early Native American settlements and the activity of American pioneers. Photographer Niemeyer, a native of Germany who has published three other photography books about America (Chesapeake Country, Abbeville, 1990), captures the landscapes, shows us the architecture and historic sites, and introduces us to Shenandoah's residents in nearly 200 color photos. Author Davis, who was reared in the area and wrote more than 20 books of history and fiction before her death in 1993, shares an abridgment of her 1945 book about Shenandoah. Her love of the land, its myths, and history pervades the informative text. For public library collections.
