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

Lee-Jackson Day

Last month, I had the privilege of again speaking in Lexington, Virginia in celebration of the Commonwealth’s annual Lee-Jackson Day. I spoke at the burial site of Stonewall Jackson and, though it was a rather frosty morn’, there were about 250 in attendance. Later, we all proceeded to Lee Chapel where Pastor Kenneth Studdard spoke in honor of General Lee. This event is well-worth attending and I would encourage all who are able to do so next year. You won’t be disappointed. There is much to see and do in Lexington and it’s a good time to relax after the Christmas holiday with your family. See: http://www.lexingtonvirginia.com/
