I am very interested in the history of Richmond but I don’t think I will be able to get up to Richmond very soon. What books/websites/sources of info do you recommend? I am particularly interested in the LGBT movement 1900 – 1940. And (separate topic) the wealthier classes (old vs new money) Reconstruction through 1920′s – Thanks, Sue
