Fredericksburg, one of America�s most historic cities, sits midpoint between the nation�s capital and Richmond. Many visitors come to this city to walk in the footsteps of illustrious Americans, admire their homes, view the battlefields nearby, and enjoy true Southern hospitality. Following a broadcasting career in California and New York, author Tony Kent retired to Fredericksburg where he and 12 others founded the Central Rappahannock Heritage Center, a regional archive for the grass roots history of the city and its four neighboring counties. Many never-before-published images in this volume are from the center�s collection.
