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

Documentary Filming in Lexington

Ken Carpenter and his wonderful crew from Franklin Springs Family Media, just completed two days of filming in beautiful Lexington, Virginia for the documentary based on my most recent book. The working title of this film is "Stonewall Jackson: His Fight Before the War." The weather was perfect, the fall colors were gorgeous, and the work came off without a hitch! Colonel Keith Gibson, of Virginia Military Institute , granted us an interview in historic Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hall on the VMI campus and then took us all on a personal tour of the school. The final day was concluded with supper in Crozet Hall with Colonel Gibson joining us and sharing his wealth of knowledge regarding VMI's rich history. Colonel Gibson is celebrating his 20th year at the Nation's oldest state military school. More filming is planned next month in Lewis County, West Virginia at the Stonewall Jackson Symposium.
