In Preserving the Old Dominion cultural historian James Lindgren shows how the preservation movement strove to rebuild a revered past upon the foundations of its historical structures. The APVAs siginificance lies not only in the fact that it played a major role in the resurgance of conservativism in the late nineteenth-century South  but that it fits into a larger American picture where tradition-minded Americans tapped their history- whether imagined or real- to shape their identity. Preserving the Old Dominion incorporates history  anthropology  architecture  archaeology  religion  and politics; it will be of interest to historians in all fields as well as womens studies scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648268034101,"sku":"ByrdShop_0813914507","price":54.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780813914503.jpg?v=1781714802","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/preserving-the-old-dominion-historic-preservation-and-virginia-traditionalism-9780813914503","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
