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
On Wednesday, I was contacted by a cable news program for an interview regarding the Stonewall Jackson Memorial window in Roanoke. I am tentatively scheduled to be interviewed some time next week. May 10th marks the 101st anniversary of the window's installation. Interestingly enough, the story will tie in to a series that relates to Virginia's historic commemoration of Jamestown's 400th anniversary. More on this next week.
