A Record of Events in Norfolk County, Virginia - Porter, John W.
The twenty-seven years since the last gun was fired and the last soldier of the South laid down his arms, have witnessed the funeral of many a survivor of “the Lost Cause,” and while there are still enough left to tell the tale, and before memory becomes dimmed by age, it is proper that the names and deeds of those who, had success crowned their bravery and devotion, would have lived in history and in song as heroes and patriots should be collected and preserved.
The record of the men who marched from this county is one to which future generations of their children may recur with pride. From the General at the head of his brigade to the humblest soldier in the ranks, “Fame crowned their brows with an amaranthine wreath that will never fade,” and the object of this modest volume is to collect and preserve this record.
