In this letter to the Bookman, published in the journal’s November 1900 issue, Thomas Dixon Jr. describes the setting of Mary Johnston‘s novel To Have and to Hold as it can be explored in modern-day Virginia. Dixon’s most famous novel, The Clansman: An Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan, was published in 1905 and, in 1915, partially adapted into the silent film The Birth of a Nation.
