This is the unique and largely forgotten story of how the ancient and noble Fairfax family of Yorkshire, England, renowned for their prominent role in the English Civil War, came to settle in Virginia before the Revolution, where they reigned over a vast empire of more than five million acres. For over 150 years, first as colonialists and then as loyal citizens of the new Republic, they played an active part in many of the great events that helped make American the country it is today. Then curiously at the beginning of the 20th Century, just as America was blossoming as the powerhouse of the world, they tuned their backs on their adopted homeland and returned once more to England. Told with panache and affection by Hugh Fairfax, a descendant of the family, we follow their close friendship with the young George Washington, and how they set him on his path to greatness and the birth of the new nation. We meet Thomas, 9th Lord Fairfax, a pioneer of emancipation, his son Henry who rallied to the colours in the Mexican War of 1846 and Charles Snowden Fairfax, 10th Lord Fairfax who joined the Gold Rush to California. Then in the Civil War as supporters of the South, they loose everything. The story ends with the author's grandfather, Albert 12th Lord Fairfax, who dreams of restoring the family fortune and position in the world. Forsaking America for England he reclaims his place in the House of Lords and prospers in the City of London. As the wheel comes full circle, we find the family once more established as Englishmen and loyal subjects of the Crown.

The passage of time has brought with it vast alterations to the landscape of Northern Virginia and Fairfax County. Once a sleepy rural area dotted with a few small villages, it has changed into a bustling suburb that is now home to thousands of people. Throughout its history, Fairfax County has hosted presidents, been home to slave traders and been a strategic component in multiple campaigns during the Civil War. Remembering Fairfax County, Virginia by longtime local historian Karl Reiner is a collection of historical vignettes that captures not only the essence of the events and people who have shaped the history of Fairfax County, but also their impact on the Old Dominion. Reiner calls upon a breadth of materials, exploring much of the forgotten heritage in the county, to provide an accessible and balanced work that is both informative and entertaining. From the influence of presidents such as George Washington to forgotten battles during the Civil War, this collection chronicles the history of Fairfax County during some of the most influential periods in American history.

"Miss Fairfax of Virginia" is a romance of love and adventure set across Europe. In the period preceding the Hispano-American War, secret agents were employed in many European capitals in the endeavor to discover the true sentiments of the powers most interested, so that in case unhappy Spain seemed in a way to secure an ally, prompt measures might be taken to head off the threatened blow by a sudden coup d'etat, in which Great Britain stood ready to do her part. Roderic Owens, a spy has been sent to the latest threat region, Dublin, Ireland. As he meets up with an informant, she reveals that there is a plot to kill him and make it look like he has run off with a well-known adventuress to the gaming tables of Monte Carlo...

The Fight for Fairfax presents the story of a group of local citizens in Fairfax County, Virginia, and their efforts over the past half-century to invent a place that would be more than simply a Washington, D.C., suburb. Told from the group’s point of view, the book chronicles their vision of Fairfax and the steps they took to bring it to life. The group faced many opponents, including populist politicians and anti-growth forces, and this book examines those clashes as part of the overall story. The Fairfax pro-development group--a zoning attorney, a university president, two defense contractors, a homebuilder and several county officials, real estate developers, and engineers--believed their work would transform Fairfax’s rural landscape into what might be called the cradle of the Information Age. And indeed, Fairfax has become a vibrant economic hub that boasts of modern industries, high-paying jobs, superior public schools, a multicultural workforce, and abundant open spaces. In making the case for these architects of change, the author, who extensively researched the subject and conducted numerous interviews with key players, produces an eloquent account that must be considered by all--those who agree with and even those who question the development. The Fight for Fairfax will appeal to a diverse audience, including local Virginia history buffs and scholars and those with an interest in business history, especially in terms of the challenges and opportunities that are often linked to growth and change.
