At in Virginia.
117'ITH traditional leisure, charm
TV an<j graciousness, Virginia
proudly upholds its titles of “Old
Dominion,” “Cradle of a Nation,”
and “Birthplace of Presidents.”
Rich in historical associations, the
romance of Virginia is interwoven in
warp and woof of a nation, its tra-
ditions and lore deep in the fibre of
its people.
A part of old England was trans-
planted across the wide Atlantic, its
laws and standards set up in a rich,
new land. Through hardships, wars
and trials, those principles took on
new growth, the virgin soil added
new strength and new meaning.
They blossomed in George Wash-
ington’s wisdom and talent, in the
magic of Thomas Jefferson's pen,
In the rousing voice of Patrick Hen-
ry, and in the genius and under-
standing of Robert E. Lee.
At Jamestown, the first perma-
nent English settlement in America
was made in 1607. At Yorktown in
1781 the American Revolution end-
ed with the surrender of Cornwallis
and the British army. Williams-
burg, settled In 1632, is sgid to be
the oldest incorporated / town in
America, and was the capital of
Virginia from 1699 to 1760. The
Commonwealth was the scene of
many campaigns in the Civil war
which closed with the surrender of
Lee’s army, April, 1865, at Appomat-
tox court house near Lynchburg.
Tha Commonwealth of Virginia
was named for Elizabeth, England’s
virgin queen. "Heaven and earth
never agreed better to frame a place
for a man’s habitation,” Capt. John
Smith declared, It was he who
claimed this new land for his queen.
Virginia’s territory once included
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and West Vir-
ginia. When Charles II was
crowned he wore a robe of Virginia
silk, and had engraved on coins that
the English kingdom should consist
of “England, Scotland, Ireland and
Virginia.”
Virginia has been the birthplace
of eight Presidents, including Har-
rison, Taylor and Wilson, who were
elected from other states. George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
James Madison, James Monroe and
John Tyler were residents of Vir-
ginia when they took office. The
names of other Virginians, howev-
er, spriAkle the pages of history,
literature, art and science. Includ-
ed among them are Princess Poca-
hontas, George Rogers Clark, Meri-
wether Lewis, John Randolph, John
Marshall, Stonewall Jackson, Hen-
ry Clay. But the list'of Virginia’s
great is too long to name here!

varied one. The coastal plain, known

as the Tidewater, wps the first set-
tled. The colonists planted tobac-
co there and watched its green
leaves turn to gold. Cornfields were
resplendent ip the sun, and gar-
dens gave generously of food for the
table. The Tidewater consists of
low-lying lands intersected by nu-
merous tidal estuaries and rivers.
The central part of the state is
known as the Piedmont, which rises
to the Blue Ridge mountains. The
Piedmont is qoted for thoroughbred
horses, and is the fox-hunting and
Tidewater, the Piedmont or the val-
ley. Theirs was a government
founded upon a constitution that
guaranteed individual liberty. They
defended their beliefs; they fought
for their rights. The Tobacco rebel-
lion of 1676 antedated the Boston
Tea party by a century! "Give me
liberty or give me death,” spoken by
Patrick Henry, was the clarion call
to independence, and Thomas Jef-
ferson set down on paper our Amer-
ican bill of rights.
After the close of the Revolution-
ary war, the great westward move-
ment came as men sought even new-
er lands. There were hundreds of
Virginians among them, in wide-
tented wagons, dragged by horses
and oxen. Three great gateways
opened from Virginia to the fron-
tier. To the northeast was the chan-
nel of the Potomac river, the gate-
way known to Washington. In the
center was the gateway of Buffalo
Gap and Goshen Pass. The third
was Cumberland Gap, known to
Daniel Boone, and opening the tow-
ering Cumberland mountains to
Kentucky.
While there were Virginians on
every frontier, ready to pioneer and
build America, most of the old stock
remained close to their native soil.
The Commonwealth of Virginia has
never stopped building. Its soil has
always been productive. Its mines
and factories yield their wealth.
Agriculture is constantly expand-
ing. Corn and tobacco and garden
truck are still grown in eastern Vir-
ginia. Cotton is raised along the
southern border, and peanuts are a
valuable crop. Smithfield hams,
from hogs fattened on peanuts, are

horse-racing country which perpet-
uates the sporting tradition of Old
Virginia. It was Lord Fairfax who
introduced fox-hunting to Virginia.
Between the Blue Ridge and the
Alleghenies lies the Shenandoah val-
ley, once known as the "granary
Of the Confederacy." Its climate
is varied, and so are its crops. It
presents a picture of wooded moun-
tain slopes, well-kept farms and cat-
tle, field* of corn and wheat, and
fruit-laden trees.
Shenandoah valley, unlike the
Tidewater and Piedmont, was not
settled by English colonists, but by
sturdy Germans from Pennsylvania
and pioneering Scotch-Irish. They
knew the long rifle, the coonskin
cap, the log cabin and all the ad-
ventures of the frontier.
It was the northern part of Shen-
andoah valley that felt the ravages
of war, not only In colonial days
but later when there was war be-
tween the states. Few scars remain,
for the luxuriant grass and hon-
eysuckle vines have erased the
physical wounds. Hundreds of
markers along the highways alone
remain to remind the traveler of the
terrors and hardships of another
day.
Virginia molded Its men Into a
pattern, whether they lived in the
famous the world over. The live-
stock ihdustry exists on a large
scale in the Southwest.

Richmond is the largest cigarette-
making center in the world. At
Hopewell and elsewhere are chem-
ical plants. Furniture-making, lum-
bering and cotton textile manufac-
turing are also extensive. At New-
port News is one of the largest ship-
building plants in the United States.
But leisure and good living, more
than creating great fortunes, are the
traditions of Virginia. Its people
know the ocean front, Chesapeake
bay and the rivers. There are hun-
dreds of miles of beaches for bath-
ing. Fishing in the bay and rivers
is good. Channel bass fishing is
fine! Virginians know the trout,
spot, egoaker, bass, rock, blue fish
and many others.
