The commonwealth of Virginia holds a prominent and distinguished place in American Civil War history. Home to the Confederacy's capital city of Richmond; more major battles were fought in Virginia than in any other state. The commonwealth also produced some of the war's most legendary and iconic figures; including Robert E. Lee; Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson; and J. E. B. Stuart. Images of America: Remembering Virginia's Confederates explores the Confederate military and government service of a wide array of Virginia residents; ranging from the most prominent generals; politicians; and spies to little-known enlisted men. It also acknowledges their dedication and sacrifice to a cause in which they strongly believed.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. SUATI AlumniBy TomocoI'm a 1960 graduate of this University when it was called the "University of New York Agricultural and Technical Institute at Farmingdale." The students called it "State University Agricultural and Technical Institute;" or "S.U.A.T.I." for short. As a student attending the University; I didn't know much about its historical significance. I really enjoyed reminiscing and reading this book. The photographs are excellent; I'm glad the author was able to put this book together. A must read for graduates.
