When Warrenton was founded in the 18th century; it was nothing more than a dusty road and watering hole. It served as a tavern and courthouse for weary travelers on the Falmouth-Winchester and Alexandria-Culpeper roads. As it grew and became the seat of Fauquier County; it was transformed into a magnet for judges and lawyers--many of whom shaped the countrys government after the Revolutionary War. Almost a century later; Warrenton changed hands more than 60 times during the Civil War; it experienced Reconstruction and rose from the ashes after a great fire that wiped out almost half the town. Today; it has become an epicenter for equestrians; serving as home to foxhunters; the Virginia Gold Cup Steeplechase; and the Warrenton Horse Show. With vintage photographs; Warrenton beckons readers back in time; along the backdrop of beautiful 18th- and 19th-century architecture and estates; to remember the spirit of a bygone era that still paints the streets and colors the culture of the people who live there.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good overviewBy Karl SteinkeThis book gave a good overview of investing in alternative assets. It was written by someone in the UK and some of the tax information was specific to the UK but it gives a nice overview also for people in other countries.
