Kollatz has a panache for storytelling and you can see the stride with each story in this collection. These are some little known, and some of the well know stories as featured in his "Flashback" column in Richmond Magazine. Some are brief snippets of popular yarns like Dahlgren's failed Civil War raid on Richmond, to obscure tall tales as Mr. Hawkin's Sturgeon ride. With each story, I found myself fascinated with the little told stories as well as entertained by Kollatz's take on well trodden ground. You can see how his pace develops from a more reporter, regurgitating history style to his quirky descriptions of events, people or places. A must for Richmond history fans and an all around good read. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Compiled for the first time in this volume, this selection of articles by Harry Kollatz Jr. sheds light Richmond's lesser-known history. Richmond, Virginia's beautiful capital on the James River, has seen more than its fair share of history. Although it is probably best known as the site of one of the first English settlements in America and its role as the Confederate capitol in the Civil War, the city's past has much more to offer. Since 1992, Harry Kollatz Jr. has been recording the lesser-known heritage of Virginia's Holy City in his "Richmond Flashbacks" column in Richmond magazine. From the inauguration of the world's first practical electric trolley system an early Civil Rights activists, to a psychic horse and a wild ride on a sturgeon, he has covered it all.
