The History of the City of Fredericksburg: Virginia

History of the City of Fredericksburg, Virginia No living citizen, or the descendant of such noble sires, whereso ever dispersed, can ever forget the town or lineage from which he sprang. None such can ever fail to appreciate those citizens, who, in the most trying times, and under the most adverse circumstances were conspicuous for their love and loyalty, suffering and sacrifice, daring and doing for home and country. Let their deeds and sacrifices be preserved for imitation of future generations which is one of the objects of this book.
