Synopsis

Excerpt from The Readjuster Movement in Virginia

One of the earliest and most far-reaching of these movements occurred in Virginia. It gathered about a state debt of long and interesting history. Eventually it produced a leader of national importance. This study, however, is not primarily an account either of the debt or of Mahone and his machine. It is, rather, a chapter in the history of Virginia, from the Civil War to the first administration of Grover Cleveland, in which some of the forces that moulded the present state are shown in their operation; and in the showing the Readjuster claim to liberalism, democracy, and progress is tested and due record made of the achievements and solid worth of those who stood for conservatism, aristocracy, and scrupulous honesty.

Hearty thanks are due to°many who have aided me. Some have loaned materials or given information, speci fic acknowledgment of which is made below. The Vir ginia State Library staff have been untiringly helpful and courteous. Under the encouragement of Professor William A. Dunning the task had its beginning; if its completion proves worth while, the credit is due pri marily to the sympathetic interest and practical assist ance of Professor Max Farrand. In preparing the manuscript for the press Professor C. M. Andrews has placed me under lasting obligations.
