Facts and Legends of The Hills of Richmond

Brooks Smith and Wayne Dementi have co-authored a delightful book that celebrates Richmond, her storylines, landmarks, and people. The book, Facts and Legends of the Hills of Richmond, features essays that first aired on WCVE Public Radio as part of Brooks' commentary series, Rediscovering Richmond, together with new and vintage photographs collected or personally captured by the Dementi family of photographers. This book is a treat to read, either in the comfort of your favorite chair or atop the many hills and haunts of Richmond, all of which you can find using the adventure map created by the authors. With a foreword by Dr. Charles Bryan, President and CEO of the Virginia Historical Society, a preface by Wayne Farrar, News Director of WCVE Public Radio, and a special endorsement by Tom Silvestri, President and Publisher of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the book is a must-have for everyone who lives, works, or plays in our fair city.
