Robert Carter of Nomini Hall: A Virginia Tobacco Planter of the Eighteenth Century"The study was not written as a biography; it is rather a description of the various economic and social aspects of the plantation system as reflected in the career of one planter. Biographical material has been used with this end in view. Throughout, the career of Robert Carter serves as a framework upon which to construct the story of the Virginia aristocracy."-- Foreword. |
