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

"It was this love of home, with its thronging recollections of the past both near and far . . . that nerved many a Southern soldier. . . . Love of the South was inextricably mixed up with this love of the family hearth. . . . Love of one particular spot, of one neighborhood, of one State, was the foundation stone of the love of the entire region which entered so deeply into the spirit of the Confederate soldier." ~ Philip Alexander Bruce

Praise for Stonewall Jackson - The Black Man's Friend

Dr. Steven E. Woodworth, professor of history at Texas Christian University and prolific Civil War author, recently sent me his thoughts about Stonewall Jackson - The Black Man's Friend:

"I like the way the book brings out the strong Christian faith of the bulk of Americans during the nineteenth century. It is inspiring to read of Jackson’s faith, in particular, and of how that led him to show kindness to those around him, including the slaves. His zeal for the Gospel is an example to us all." - Steven E. Woodworth, Ph.D, author, While God is Marching On: The Religious World of Civil War Soldiers
