The Southampton Insurrection

   William Sidney Drewry


   William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Vol. 9, No. 1.
   (Jul., 1900), p. 65.

THE SOUTHAMPTON INSURRECTION.  By William Sidney Drewry, Ph.D., M.A. (University
    of Virginia), Honorary Scholar in History Johns Hopkins University, Washington.
    The Neale Company, 431 Eleventh Street.

   Mr. Drewry has succeeded in this work in giving a very graphic account of
Virginia in the days of slavery.  One of the most typical counties of the old
regime was Southampton, which became the scene of Nat Turner's insurrection.
There is a great deal of valuable information in the book.
