Bulletin 115 Presents York River Brand Black Eye Peas & Politics

Bulletin 115 of the King and Queen County Historical Society of Virginia is now available. The primary topic “It’s Lucky to Eat York River Black Eye Peas On New Year’s Day” is an entertaining account of how this humble vegetable, grown in the county and canned in Walkerton under the York River brand during the first half of the Twentieth Century, made national political news.

Members of the King and Queen Historical Society receive The Bulletin semiannually. Non-members can purchase this edition and back issues for $2.00 each. To purchase enter 115 in the Bulletin issue box on the Shop page.
