From lands once traveled by Indigenous peoples to the surveying of its streets by a young George Washington, Alexandria has long been shaped by the Potomac River’s pull. As the nation grew, its proximity to the Federal City placed it at the center of political, economic, and social change from the American Revolution through the civil rights movement and beyond. Today, Alexandria’s neighborhoods reveal this history. From Gadsby’s Tavern Museum in Old Town to Ben Brenman Pond in the West End, each neighborhood has important landmarks, big and small. Incorporating the newest research with historic and modern photographs, this updated edition reveals Alexandria’s evolution across centuries and celebrates a city whose past continues to shape the character of the Commonwealth and the nation.

Colleges are more than classrooms and quads. They are living relics where history lingers and, sometimes, refuses to stay quiet. A phantom hugger roams the President’s House at William and Mary, and the grave-robbing secrets of historic medical schools refuse to be forgotten. A strange mist engulfs Cemetery Road of the University of Virginia. Rumors swirl of the cursed Ogden Circle at Hampton University and of hidden passageways and witches at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Blending folklore, history, and mystery, author Sharon Pajka reveals a supernatural side of academia, where legends linger, spirits wander, and the past and present walk hand in hand.Â

Maryland Witches
9781467170840
Regular price $24.99 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 248): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Containing stories from the historical record and interviews with today's practitioners, Maryland Witchcraft has a little something for the history buff, the modern wiccan, and the merely curious alike.
In the dark history of witchcraft in America, other states dominate the popular mind, but Maryland, too, has blood on its hands.
Found guilty of witchcraft, Rebecca Fowler met her death by hanging. If she had been accused in a different colony, the end would perhaps have been different, but in Maryland, witchcraft meant death. The end was not so quick for Moll Dyer. Chased out of her house by fearful neighbors, she fled into the bitter winter night. Facing similar accusations, Hannah Edwards and Virtue Violl stood trial but escaped such a dire fate.
Drawing on stories of ancient witchcraft and shamanism and accounts of European witch trials, author Trish Hoffman unfolds the history of Maryland witches from the colonial era to the present day.
