The first documentation of this small Virginia foxhunting and farming village's history from Indian times to the present day, researched by John K. Gott and written by D'Anne Evans.
A fascinating walk through time, including photographs of its prominent people and plaoes. Life in a country village during the Civil War, the hard times of mid-20th century decline and finally rebirth and restoration. Today The Plains is also widely known for Great Meadow, home of the famous Virginia Gold Cup Steeplechase each spring.
John K. Gott holds a B.A. from Bridgewater College and a M.S. from Catholic University. He is a retired Fairfax County teacher who spends his time researching, studying and writing Fauquier county history.
