HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE --
The 22nd Virginia holds a unique place in Confederate history due to its leadership and its performance in the Shenandoah Valley. George S. Patton, the regiment's organizer and leader (and grandfather of the famous WWII General), died at the head of these men at the Battle of Winchester. Terry Lowry’s research transformed the history of this unit from local lore into a documented military record, making this volume an essential reference for both military historians and genealogists focused on Western Virginia.
