Good Catch! Dave

Sketches of Virginia” by William Henry Foote is listed in the bibliography. The good catch award goes to my friend Dave Nelson in Perry,New York. I had listed the author as Henry Wilder Foote, who happened to be a Unitarian Minister and hymn writer, but not the author of the Sketches of Virginia.

Please follow the link to the sketches, it will place you down in the text, but if you will scroll up before the index and title page, you will find the picture of Samuel Davies! The picture has some script under it, but it is very hard to make out. I find it very interesting that 100 years after his ministry in Virginia, Davies’ picture would show up in the “Sketches of Virginia.”
