Behind every royal governor stood a council shaping the fate of a colony. In these executive journals, the colonial Virginia council records speak directly from May 1705 to October 1721. The past speaks plainly here. Preserved are the official proceedings of the body that sat at the centre of colonial administration and governance in one of the most influential of the British America southern colonies. As early American government documents and a primary source historical edition, these records trace how policy was argued, alliances formed, and authority exercised in day to day government, illuminating British colonial policy in Virginia and the realities of 1700s colonial Virginia history. Edited by H. R. McIlwaine, Executive Journals of the Council of Colonial Virginia (Volume III) belongs among the classic documentary history of Virginia, indispensable to anyone investigating eighteenth century legal decisions, landholding, trade, defence and church affairs. Names, offices and places appear in abundance, making it a rich research resource for historians and a practical tool for genealogy and local history across the colony and beyond. Students of 1700s colonial Virginia history and of the wider British America southern colonies find in these colonial Virginia primary sources collection materials that ground interpretation in the language of the time. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
