Book Description
Few would guess from looking at the resplendent Virginia Beach shorelineóits stretches of fine sand, sloping dunes, and rolling wavesóthat the city has experienced anything but peace and tranquility since the history of its native Chesapeake tribe collided with the ambition and vision of new European settlers on the colonial coastline. But turmoil and conflict, as well as progress and achievement, are all a part of the areaís unique story.ÝÝVirginia Beach: A History of Virginiaís Golden Shore brings to life the people, places, and events that contributed to the cityís celebrated reputation. Through stories and memories, readers are introduced to the varied citizens who called this land home, including such characters as Sarah Offley who married three of early Virginiaís most powerful settlers, and to the cityís illustrious visitors. This volume also details, in both word and image, the influential resort age, which began in 1880 and saw the community flourish as people flocked to the Atlantic shore to dance, picnic, and enjoy the surf at the Princess Anne Hotel. Everyday vacationers mingled with notables such as Alexander Graham Bell and John, Lionel, and Ethel Barrymore at the landmark hotel with the railroad at its front door. Although little of the golden shore remains unchanged, modern residents continue to preserve what they canóespecially their memories, pride, and love for the city. ÝÝ ... Read more

A Glimpse Back In Time
This book was a real find for my family who has recently become a summer resident at Virginia Beach. This resort has changed faces so many times over just the last couple of decades, it is a real treat to see thetransformations over the last century. The photographs tell the storythemselves but author Yarsinke adds much feeling and background with hernarrative. This book is a wonderful photographic history for those familierwith the Va Coast and those who are simply U.S. history buffs. Our familyhas put this on our beach house coffee table to always remind us of thebackground stories of our vacation spot. ... Read more
