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
I am pleased to announce that the Old Virginia Blog has made the recommended Civil War blog list at Civil War Interactive - a site I recommend for WBTS news, book reviews, links and all things related to the "late unpleasantness." You will find a diverse range of opinions and views here and the site is udpated regularly. For CW buffs, it is a must visit every day.
