Sobre IBD

This book is the first attempt to trace the lives of the enslaved at Sully Historic House, Fairfax County, Virginia. The house was completed in 1795 for Richard Bland Lee, Northern Virginia’s first Congressman. The book includes the stories of the lives of those enslaved at Sully as well as the research paths that allowed the author to trace them down through history, in a few cases to living descendants.
