Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for New Book A Short History of Richmond

RICHMOND, Va. - Feb. 5, 2018 - PRLog -- Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for A Short History of Richmond

Local authors Jack Trammell & Guy Terrell will be available to sign copies of book

The seven hills at the James River fall line that Captain John Smith first witnessed in 1607 became the site of a pivotal American city. Richmond was a birthplace of the American Revolution. It became the permanent capital of Virginia and served as the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War. In the early twentieth century, industry expanded in the city as companies like DuPont and Philip Morris built factories. Cultural institutions expanded, with Richmond's first radio station and movie theater opening in the 1920s, before the Great Depression hit the city hard. The city rose from financial struggle to a highly industrialized center for manufacturing and vital transportation hub. Join authors Jack Trammell and Guy Terrell as they narrate the rich history of the River City.
