A Conversation between Encyclopedia Virginia editor Patti Miller, author Marcus Nevius, and cultural geographer Alexandra Sutton Law
Join Encyclopedia Virginia editor Patti Miller on May 11 for a fascinating look at the Great Dismal Swamp: Past and Present, as we present a conversation with Marcus Nevius, author of City of Refuge: Slavery and Petit Marronage in the Great Dismal Swamp, and Alexandra Sutton Lawrence of the Great Dismal Swamp Stakeholders Collaborative. We’ll explore the history of the Great Dismal Swamp as a place of enslaved resistance and rebellion and learn about current efforts to have the swamp designated a National Heritage Area.
