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. :)

More Self-Promotion - Sorry, I need to sell some books

Dear Mr. Williams,

I have read your book on the life of Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. My thoughts are that your credible research of his spiritual life and legacy adds helpful information on one of history's intriguing characters. Regarding some of the contested claims, you weighed the evidence fairly and let the reader decide, without accusation or innuendo. People who hold their traditions as a sacred trust, yet understand the importance of accuracy, respect that.
