What Readers Are Saying . . . .

While doing research, Yeck had the opportunity to get to know her Virginia cousins. Being only the second person in her family to be born outside Virginia since 1617, returning to the state felt like a homecoming for her. She fell in love with both the county and its residents.

Without a doubt, Yeck truly provides her readers with much more than lessons about Buckingham’s history. She offers them a connection, a bond, with the people who made this community what it is today – “At a Place Called Buckingham.”

Just finished reading “At a Place Called Buckingham” and The Jefferson Brothers. I thoroughly enjoyed them both! Thank you for all the research and effort you’ve put into bringing these historical facts together and for presenting them in such an easy way. I look forward to your future writings.

Yeck has done a remarkable job gathering together these tales from a county that sadly lost a lot of historical records to fire.

Yeck tells a great story, imparting a deep flavor and visual image of things Buckingham.  Those with roots in the county will find nuggets in every article that will leave you yearning for the days of old.

Scholarly yet accessible, the stories in “At a Place Called Buckingham” give a great sense of a place for which the author clearly has both great affection and vast knowledge. Well selected photos, maps and illustrations enhance the reading experience. Certainly a must-read for Buckingham Country/Virginia history buffs, and a great introduction for readers new to the topic.
