Beeman, Richard

SUMMARY

The Evolution of the Southern Backcountryis the story of an expanding frontier. Richard Beeman offers a lively and well-written account of the creation of bonds of community among the farmers who settled Lunenburg Country, far to the south and west of Virginia's center of political and economic activity. Beeman's view of the nature of community provides an important dynamic model of the transmission of culture from older, more settled regions of Virginia to the southern frontier. He describes how the southern frontier was influenced by those staples of American historical development: opportunity, mobility, democracy, and ethnic pluralism; and he shows how the county evolved socially, culturally, and economically to become distinctly southern.Beeman, Richard is the author of 'Evolution of the Southern Backcountry: A Case Study of Lunenburg County, Virginia, 1746-1832', published 1989 under ISBN 9780812212983 and ISBN 0812212983.
