This history, which is based on original deeds, documents and letters from archives in Yorkshire, Virginia and Canada, follows the family from its modest origins in England through its ventures and setbacks to success and eminence in the New World. It is amazing how such a human story has been drawn from consulting archives in so many different places. (Isabelle Flückiger).
The Saga of the Robinsons Philippa Elmhirst 9780956854315 Books
Philippa Elmhirst's book is a very enjoyable read which follows the Robinson family from modest beginnings in England to that of wealth and power through offices such as Bishop of London, President of the Council and Speaker of the House of Burgesses in the Colony of Virginia, to name just a few. Follow the family's successes and failures and the ultimate division of the family during the American Revolution. The book is flush with color reproductions of many documents and paintings with well documented citation where these treasures are preserved. This book is not just for descendants of the Robinson's described in its pages; I recommend it to anyone interested in the Colonial history of Virginia from the middle 17th century until after the American Revolution and 19th century Canadian history. The Robinson's were center stage for events such as Patrick Henry's famous speech concerning the Stamp Act and Benedict Arnold's defection.Product details
