Old Virginia Blog

WBTS & historical musings, wandering thoughts, book comments, and an occasional rant from the backroads and byways of Old Virginia from Civil War author Richard G. Williams, Jr - one of the few remaining men who has actually lived in Virginia all his life. :)

"From Virginia sprung the Southern Mind, a mind which favoured the local community, Burkean conservatism, the folkways of ancestors, an unwavering orthodox Christian faith." ~ Alphonse Vinh

Update

Update – the second edition of The Maxims of Robert E. Lee for Young Gentlemen, published by Pelican of Louisiana, continues to do well. I’ve done a number of radio interviews and a few book signings, including two at Barnes and Noble. I am thankful for the positive review which appears in Blue & Gray Magazine’s summer issue. They write that the book, “…offers a sublime figure as counterpoint to the hedonistic ‘heroes’ of the instant gratification set…all ages will benefit from these selections…a wonderful self-help book of sorts.’ ”

A companion book about Mrs. Lee, directed to young ladies, will follow sometime next year. Also, work continues on my book about Stonewall Jackson’s black Sunday school class and we are on schedule to send it to the publisher by the end of August.
