Media reviews
Byrd's published journals and Ausband's own observations form the dual basis of Byrd's Line, which reads like a journal, travelogue, and field book all rolled in one. Ausband likens the book to a conversation in which he matches Byrd's recordings with our modern landscape. - Hampton Roads Monthly "Ausband's book is a labor of love and a bid to re-experience what Byrd saw, felt, and even heard." - William and Mary Quarterly "By consulting segments of Virginia gentleman William Byrd's writings as he worked on mapping the state line in 1728 and combining them with modern explanations of some of the explorer's more colorful descriptions of what he saw, Ausband has written a lively book that features a dialogue between past and present." - Our State "A... substantial work that is not only authoritative but also a pleasure to read." - Virginia Magazine of History and Biography"
