by Jane Chapman Whitt

Temporarily out-of-print

ISBN 0-918339-03-0 | Paper | 120 pages | 6 x 9 |Photos, maps, and drawings | Completely revised | $7.95

A much beloved classic, Elephants and Quaker Guns traces developments in the Northern Virginia area from colonial times through the turn of the century, concentrating on local legends and little known facts. It opens the door to a long lost Northern Virginia laden with natural beauty and richness, devoted to agriculture, timber, and trading.

The author enthusiastically details the Washington area's role as one of the earliest homes of the American circus, traces the course and impact of the Civil War on the region, uncovers the area's part in the writing of the ''Battle Hymn of the Republic,'' and much more.
