This is a Civil War Centennial standard, first printed in 1964, and written by a Washington & Lee College history professor. It tells the story of the men of Company I of the 4^th Viriginia Infantry, a regiment which was part of the famed Stonewall Brigade. Based largely on original letters and accounts written by the young men who formed a military company at the college named for the Liberty Hall Academy in the American Revolution (an antecedent of the Washington College at Lexington), this is the story of a group of college friends caught up in the secessionist fervor in the spring of 1861.

The plaque erected on their campus in their memory states: “The Liberty Hall Volunteers fought in 32 battles from Manassas to Appomattox.” Company I would suffer substantial casualties, many from prominent families, as they followed Stonewall Jackson. The affection the boys had for their college is represented in the fact that Washington & Lee alumni financially supported this memorial alone, and not other outside organizations. This book is still cited for its in-depth research into the life and death experiences of these students.

This book is in very good condition with no marks to note. Pages are clean as well with no folds or tears, and the binding is tight.  Approximately 230 pages.    [cla] [ph:L]
