The book traces the evolution of crown design across centuries and cultures, illustrating how styles have reflected shifts in political ideologies and aesthetic preferences. For example, certain gemstones were believed to possess mystical properties, further legitimizing royal authority.

Finally, the book analyzes the embedded symbolism within the crowns, revealing how specific gemstones and design elements were used to communicate royal power. Through historical documents and art historical analysis, "Royal Crowns" connects historical context with the crown's inherent function as a symbol of power, providing a valuable perspective on these artifacts and their enduring impact.

    The only state born as a result of the Civil War, West Virginia was the most divided state in the nation. About forty thousand of its residents served in the combatant forces about twenty thousand on each side. 
 
 
 
The Mountain State also saw its fair share of battles, skirmishes, raids, and guerrilla warfare, with places like Harpers Ferry, Philippi, and Rich Mountain becoming household names in 1861. When the Commonwealth of Virginia seceded from the Union on April 17, 1861, leaders primarily from the northwestern region of the state began the political process that eventually led to the creation of West Virginia on June 20, 1863. Renowned Civil War historian Mark A. Snell has written the first thorough history of these West Virginians and their civil war in more than fifty years.
