Great site! I am a big fan of Richmond history, so much so that I wrote about it in my children’s book Richmond Rocks! for kids to get them excited about it, too. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for visiting our blog! We’ll definitely check out your Richmond children’s book!
Hi, I am an archivist at the Robinson-Spangler Carolina Room. Currently, one of my projects is transcribing the Wilkes-Smedberg Letters. I just completed transcribing a letter written by the son of Admiral Charles Wilkes, John “Jack” Wilkes to his fiancee Jane Renwick Smedberg. In the letter, Jack Wilkes describes a visit to the gold mines near Fredericksburg, Virginia as his father was considering investing in the machinery used at the Vauclause Mine. If there is anyone who is doing research in this area, I would be glad to send a copy of the letter to him or her.
