520 _a"Salona, Fairfax County, Virginia" by Ellen L. Anderson is a historical account written in the late 20th century. This work provides a detailed examination of the historical significance of the property known as Salona, from its origins in the early 18th century through its many transformations and owners over the centuries. The text primarily focuses on the influential families associated with Salona, such as the Lees, the Maffitts, and the Smoots, highlighting important events associated with the estate, including a visit from President James Madison. The opening of the book introduces readers to Salona, a historic brick dwelling set amidst the commercial development of McLean, Virginia. Anderson outlines the property's historical context, detailing its gradual transformation from a sizeable land grant originally given to Thomas Lee in 1719 to its eventual sale and various ownerships through the 19th century. The narrative foreshadows exploration of the physical and socio-political significance of Salona, emphasizing its connection to pivotal historical moments, including its use as a refuge during the British invasion in the War of 1812 and its status as a working farm through the Civil War era, thus serving as a testament to the rich local history.
