A notebook for notes with images of Trinity Windows, in paperback A5 (5.83 x 8.27 in / 148 x 210 mm): As a reader of The Histories, discovering a plate remembering General Nelson meeting at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Staunton and the art works therein, I have too much fun exploring the attributes of a parish that dedicates so much energy and funds to architecture. Former names inscribed throughout also recall the tremendous works undertaken by Americans at the verge of becoming a global power. Cochran who as a young man arrives in Europe to a post in the Judge Advocate Office. In Augusta County, the memory of names like the Baldwins who founded learning centers, advocates of the federal system during trials that tested men's nerves convey to a newcomer the dedication based on formal learning. This notebook published as a results is meant to allow free thinking and notes on paper given how much is rendered on a digital screen, we may almost forget how important handwriting is.
The author is a resident of Virginia and influenced by George Washington, "a sensible, intelligent young man who was familiar with the wilderness," to uncover the civilizing influences that made the Commonwealth while mindful of the failed attempts by Colonial Governors to diversify the economy.

My impressions of Staunton, to-date:
A city named after a Baronet's wife--so defining are wives in the founding of Virginia--and often dismissed in daily routines on main street, related to a muscular County named after the matriarch of George III who in turn is often denied credit for his disciplined approach to develop the lands from the Atlantic to the Blue Ridge--while land-hungry investors wished to cross to the Mississippi. This while the Virginia claim included all lands to the Pacific, based on a map at the Augusta Historical Society. Interestingly, men who fought under Generals reporting to George Washington settled in these regions. Here and there hints of restored friendships abound and to celebrate. -Antony
