Best Selling Books by Mary Jones

Little has been written about Bogey Neck, Virginia, though there is much to be told. The small, rural community is nestled in the Northern Neck of the state, and it hosts a rich history of African American heritage that spans eight generations and includes numerous outstanding contributions to the community, commonwealth, and country. But unfortunately, these stories have not been recorded in many writings, and the legacy of this unique place and people fades with each passing year. Bogey Neck Road rights this wrong and thoroughly explores the history of Bogey Neck from 1900 to the present. It tells the tales of the eleven African American families who settled there after slavery was abolished, and it passionately portrays their struggles to provide for their families, educate their children, and survive other challenges in rural America. Moving forward in time, Bogey Neck Road identifies over eight hundred of the settlers' descendants and profiles a number of them to show how they inherited and maintained not only their ancestors' land but also their endurance and strength. Compelling, informative, and enjoyable to read, this book is sure to appeal to history buffs and to help any who are interested to get in touch with their roots.

This book focuses on the best-known and most frequently taught chanson de geste ("songs of heroic deeds") from medieval France, including the Song of Roland and the Voyage of Charlemagne.
