The 1900s saw another influx of settlers; this time horse enthusiasts from the North. In the process, a small Southern town called Middleburg in Northern Virginia became known as the Heart of the Virginia Hunt Country. This second volume features twenty-eight historic properties around the Hunt Country, along with the families that built and preserved these veterans of the past. The book is lavishly illustrated with nearly 300 photographs, and includes a study on the origins of Piedmont family names.
