"I am a true Confederate today as I was when I first rode from Warrenton to Manassas. I think the greatest calamity that has befallen the country is the wreck of the Confederacy" (WHF Payne). This book tells the story of a true Virginian and Confederate, a bold soldier and true leader. Wounded three times and captured twice, Payne also fought with and against some the war's greatest commanders. He witnessed the hanging of John Brown and the battles at Manassas, Williamsburg, Winchester, and Five Forks. His civil life even had its own adventures, having been arrested as a possible member of the Lincoln assassination conspiracy. William Henry Fitzhugh Payne has a great story, and it is told herein.
