Norfolk: Historic Southern Port

Thomas J. Wertenbaker

0/5 ( ratings)

In itself the history of Norfolk is well worth telling. It is a story rich with experiences of human enterprise in a frontierland of rare promise. It reveals the basic stuff out of which a modern American city was shaped, and it discloses the drama of a community in periods of prosperity, disaster, and unsteady growth. However, focusing on this community as if through the eye of a microscope, authors Thomas J. Wertenbaker and Marvin W. Schlegel have observed the growth of the nation. It is this kind of local study - reliable with respect to both factual reporting and interpretation- which is needed to form sound generalizations about the development of the nation as a whole. First published in 1931, this book many times has been acclaimed as a local history of unusual interest.
