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. :)

: Name: Richard G. Williams, Jr.; Location: Shenandoah Valley, US

"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

Ssshhhh!! Jamestown & Christianity

Click here for the latest about the ongoing controversey surrounding Jamestown's 400th anniversary and political correctness.

"Without our own well-educated, informative guides from Christian Legacy Tours (Sacramento), we would have left Jamestown with the impression that these settlers were nothing more than predecessors pressed from the capitalist-greed molds of the 21st century."
