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. :)

Kappa Alpha Order

Earlier this year, I was asked to submit an article to the Kappa Alpha Order's Journal as the Order celebrates Robert E. Lee's 200th birthday. KA was started at Washington College and its mission statement declares:

"Kappa Alpha Order seeks to create a lifetime experience that centers on reverence to God, duty, honor, character, and gentlemanly conduct as inspired by Robert E. Lee, our spiritual founder."

KA was formed while Lee was President of Washington College and has an interesting history. The issue with my piece in it is currently at the printer. I will provide a link to the article as soon as it becomes available. Readers can see the current issue here.

The Year of Lee continues.
