Morven Park is pleased to announce the publication of a new book on Governor and Mrs. Westmoreland Davis, titled MORLEY: THE INTIMATE STORY OF VIRGINIA'S GOVERNOR AND MRS. WESTMORELAND DAVIS. Whereas previous books have concentrated on the life and career of the Governor, this book is unparalleled in that it also includes information on Mrs. Davis.
Written by Carolyn Green, a writer living in Hamilton, Virginia, it is told from the point of view of Mrs. Marguerite Inman Davis. Written as if she had interviewed Mrs. Davis, the story of this unique couple and their relationship is told by Ms. Green through the use of stories and antidotes that describe not only both of their ancestral histories but also unfolds a story of devotion to each other and their rural lifestyle. Both were dedicated foxhunters, who not only enjoyed their sport but were so concerned about local farmers that Governor Davis founded the Masters of Foxhounds Association that to this day is still dedicated to protecting farmer's rights and regulating the sport.
Also told in this book is the story of how Mrs. Davis developed the idea of setting up the Westmoreland Davis Memorial Foundation that oversees Morven Park today. Through these chapters, a reader can see how dedicated Mrs. Davis was to the memory of her husband and his legacy.
This book is available in paperback for $19.95 plus tax and shipping charges. The total charge is $23.10 by mail. Email us or you may send us a check or order via credit card by phone by calling; 703-777-2414.
