Beskrivelse af Trice Blessed
The story and collected papers of a delightfully eloquent and genteel Virginia family, told through intimate letters and journal entries spanning more than 150 years. There are ample doses of humor, history, piety, and romance, with echoes of the worlds of Jane Austen, Scarlett O'Hara, Queen Victoria - even Sigmund Freud and Mary Poppins, Virginia style. These were highly educated, well-connected people with close ties to the land. Their writings are sprinkled with French and literary references, mixed in with down-to-earth reports on fowl raising and harvest conditions. Profusely illustrated. The families related to this branch of the Trice family, originally from Middlesex County, include: the Davises of Willoughby, Edgewood, and the University of Virginia; the Minors of Gale Hill, Windieknowe, Riggory, Sunning Hill, and the University of Virginia; the Jeffersons of Monticello and Shadwell; the Cockes of Bremo and Red Hills, Fluvanna County; the Dabneys of Charlottesville, Albemarle County, and the University of Virginia; the Caskies of Richmond and Gale Hill; the Terrells of Albemarle County and Kentucky; the Carrs of Carrsbrook, Red Hills, Bentivar, and Dunlora in Albemarle County; the Sampsons of Albemarle County; the Evans, Forbes, and Churchills of Jamaica, and many others.
