Loudoun County (Va.) -- History
I had the good fortune to be given two folders that give fascinating
details of the activities of the Confederate Veterans and the Daughters
of the Confederacy in years past. One was the program of the ceremony
held at the unveiling of the monument on Thursday, May 28, 1908, and the
committees responsible for its erection. The money to pay for the statue
had been raised by the Daughters of the Confederacy. These were the
members of the monument committee:
