Campbell, Julie The Horse In Virginia SIGNED COPY. As New 1st ED/HB/DJ
VA The University of Virginia Press 2010 0813928168 / 9780813928166 First Edition Hard Cover Brand New Brand New Signed 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall Photographs Signed by Author
Signed by Julie A. Campbell on the half title page. Not to anybody in particular, just the author's full name. 296 glossy pp. 8 x 10 in, 46 color and 113 b/w illustrations. Campbell is the associate director of communications and public affairs at Washington and Lee University, in Lexington, Va. Hers is the first book to cover the complete history of the horse in the Old Dominion, and much of the research was undertaken at the NSL. Virginia's horse tradition goes back 400 years to the first settlement at Jamestown. Since then, the state’s special relationship with the horse has never waned. Virginia has been known for centuries for its production of Thoroughbred racehorses and as the birthplace of the native Quarter Horse breed. The state has also produced many famous individual horses, including the great Triple Crown champion Secretariat and Misty of Chincoteague, one of the most beloved animals in children’s literature. The most significant figures in the Commonwealth’s history have almost invariably enjoyed a special bond with horses, from George Washington—whom Thomas Jefferson called "the best horseman of his age"—to Robert E. Lee, who rode into battle on his well-known gray, Traveller. This tradition has continued into the present day, when horse farms are still a proud feature of the Virginia countryside and famed equestrians such as David and Karen O’Connor have represented their state and their country in the Olympics. Campbell was raised in Santa Fe, N.M., and earned a B.A. in history from Arizona State University and an M.A. in history from the University of Arizona. She began her publishing career in Denver, Colo., working for a variety of magazines. From 1987 to 1994, she was an editor of books and a journal at the Arizona Historical Society, in Tucson. She moved to Richmond, Va., in 1994, when she became the editor of Virginia Cavalcade, the illustrated magazine of history at the Library of Virginia. Campbell is the primary author of Studies in Arizona History, a high-school textbook published in 1998 by the Arizona Historical Society, and has contributed articles and book reviews to journals, newspapers, and books including Clothing and Textiles Research Journal, the Dictionary of Virginia Biography, the Journal of Arizona History, the Bloomsbury Review, and Virginia Libraries.
