Cows on the Campus: Williamsburg in Bygone Days

Cows on the Campus: Williamsburg in Bygone Days by Rouse Jr., Parke. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780875170473.

This is a loving account of the historic town of Williamsburg, Virginia, and of a few of its memorable people. While the authors interest here encompasses colonial times as well as contemporary events, he was fond of focusing on vignettes and anecdotes. He was a celebrated raconteur who relished reciting the history that he had been taught and telling of the life experiences he remembered. For him, history was personal, but something personal that was meant to be shared. Mr. Rouse died in 1997.
