An award-winning historian presents the absorbing history of a fantastically delusional enterprise that proposed draining and developing the Dismal Swamp, a vast morass along the Virginia-North Carolina border. William Byrd's 18th-century scheme was designed to create fabulous wealth for himself and other shareholders, including George Washington, Patrick Henry, and Thomas Jefferson. 20 illustrations. 5 maps.
