If now little remembered, the Dooley family bestrode Richmond after the Civil War and built it into a powerhouse of the New South. Perhaps the leading entrepreneur of the city, James Dooley left his mark in real estate, banking, and railroads far beyond Virginia. By the early twentieth century, he and his wife, Sallie, ranked among the leading philanthropists of the capital, whose many charities still reflect their generosity a century later. With a deep command of sources and an engaging style, Mary Lynn Bayliss restores this enterprising and fascinating Irish immigrant family to its rightful place in the pantheon of builders of modern Richmond., Bayliss has spent decades combing through newspaper archives, census records, and the Dooley family library to put together this detailed history., A well-researched and deeply informative work....When asked, a friend who recently read The Dooleys of Richmond told me that his take-away was this: 'They looked after their family and they looked after Richmond.' Indeed they did. And thanks to Mary Lynn Bayliss, it is an inspiring story., A richly detailed portrait of one of Richmond's most influential families... a captivating, made-for-the-silver screen tale involving immigration, war, and vast fortunes gained and lost., Mary Lynn Bayliss has given us a lively telling of the little-known story of an Irish Catholic family that played a significant part in the history of Richmond, Virginia, before, during, and after the Civil War. Bayliss captures both the dramatic public events and the emotions of private life in this joint biography of John Dooley and James Dooley, father and son, and their families., Author Mary Lynn Bayliss has pulled back the curtains to reveal the fascinating stories of the Dooleys in her new book, The Dooleys of Richmond .... Now, after years of painstaking tracking down documents that survived, she is able to share the fascinating account of one family's contributions to the re-growth of post-bellum Richmond and the South.

Excellent! Retrostar Music is a very fair seller - they gave me a 5% discount on top of an already great price! They also communicated the status of my order quite frequently. The CD I ordered came in a box with plenty of wrapping paper to ensure it would not get beaten up in shipping. Usually sellers just send CDs in envelopes, so I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived in a box. The CD itself is in perfect condition. A+ experience! I would highly recommend this seller!

"Moneyball" is an old/new movie/DVD that I haven't seen. "Retrostar Music" as seller had some of Mr. Pitts movies & this was labelled "New", I decided to purchase it. The seller sent all I ordered with FREE shipping &discounted the price of all as well. It took less than a week - six days - for my complete order to arrive & they were all carefully packaged & arrived in two boxes. If I ever have a question regarding what else is in the seller's inventory, I always receive a very prompt reply.
