The five-volume
Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography
is a collection of biographical sketches of thousands of
Virginians who lived
between the early seventeenth century and the twentieth century. Covering the entire spectrum of colonial, Revolutionary,
and post-Revolutionary figures, the
Encyclopedia
treats the following personages: founders, immigrants, and early settlers,
state councillors and burgesses, landowners, merchants, Revolutionary War figures, governors, justices, politicians, military
and naval figures, and a host of prominent nineteenth-century personalities, including bankers, statesmen, farmers, professionals,
businessmen, and Civil War soldiers.
The first two volumes concentrate mostly on
Virginia
men of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, while the last three volumes
deal primarily with nineteenth-century figures--in somewhat greater detail than the earlier volumes. All sketches identify the
place and date of birth of the subject, and wherever possible his parents and early antecedents, all the way back to the immigrant
ancestor. Typically the sketches provide details of the subject's education and career, information about his wife and children,
and highlights of his life and times.
Each of the five volumes is illustrated with full-page portraits and each is separately indexed. Together they are a handsome
addition to any library of Virginiana, and as they contain information on such a large number of Virginians they are indispensable
as a quick and ready reference. Although in some places the work would appear to follow the format of a "mug book," the fact is
that it contains thousands of biographies not found elsewhere. It is somewhat rare, and therefore little known to most genealogists.
