 New Book and Postcards Honor Virginia’s Confederates

More Info on This Book: Remembering Virginia's Confederates

The commonwealth of Virginia holds a prominent and distinguished place in American Civil War history. Home to the Confederacy's capital city of Richmond, more major battles were fought in Virginia than in any other state. The commonwealth also produced some of the war's most legendary and iconic figures including Robert E. Lee, Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson and J. E. B. Stuart.

In a new pictorial history book by local author Sean M. Heuvel, over 200 vintage photographs explore the Confederate military and government service of a wide array of Virginia residents, ranging from the most prominent generals, politicians and spies to little-known enlisted men. It also acknowledges their dedication and sacrifice to a cause in which they strongly believed.

Highlights of Remembering Virginia’s Confederates:
• Foreword written by Col. J.E.B. Stuart IV, great-grandson of Confederate cavalry general J.E.B. Stuart
• Rare images of Confederate naval personnel, enlisted men and army officers from Virginia
• Photographs of leading Virginia politicians who aligned with the Confederacy
• Materials provided by the staffs of Virginia Military Institute, Gettysburg National Military Park and the Museum of the Confederacy

Sean M. Heuvel is a faculty member at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Virginia, where he teaches in the Department of Leadership and American Studies. A graduate of the College of William and Mary and the University of Richmond, Heuvel is also the author of Arcadia Publishing's Christopher Newport University.
