I loved learning the history of Albemarle throughout the different periods! I definitely will be taking a tour through Scottsville and Charlottesville, using this book!
The only thing i wish was mentioned, is the history of Vinegar Hill and the destruction that took place in the 1960s. Only reason i bumped it down to 4/5 stars :)
