Gish spent more than twenty years traveling the Old Buckingham Road seeking the original sites of the taverns and ordinaries that once dotted its roadside every four to twelve miles and studying the lives of those who dispensed hospitality-for-a-profit to its travelers. These public and private houses of entertainment are presented here in brief vignettes that contain both historical and genealogical information. The information has been gathered from public documents such as land patents, court order books, deeds, wills, personal property and land tax books, pension petitions, census enumerations, marriage bonds and minister's returns, records of the Board of Public Works, and the Mutual Assurance Society's fire insurance policies. The many newspaper notices of this period add a personal touch to the facts found in these public documents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Agnes Evans Gish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0788449311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780788449314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heritage Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 1.69d","brand":"Agnes Evans Gish","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926066331903,"sku":"9780788449314","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b1a82f4f-9480-4dfb-a106-1696c393b12f.jpg?v=1681081004","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/virginia-taverns-ordinaries-and-coffee-agnes-evans-gish-9780788449314","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
