Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the culmination of a search for the unknown Confederate Soldiers of Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Prior study by the author covered over a dozen Regiments and over 40 Companies that were recruited in Pittsylvania County. That research led to speculation that numerous Pittsylvania men enlisted in Regiments in bordering counties. The hypothesis was proven, and the results were astounding. It all began with Finding the Men in the 1860 Census.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take Care of the Living assesses the short- and long-term impact of the war on Confederate veteran families of all classes in Pittsylvania County and Danville, Virginia. Using letters, diaries, church minutes, and military and state records, as well as close analysis of the entire 1860 and 1870 Pittsylvania County manuscript population census, McClurken explores the consequences of the war for over three thousand Confederate soldiers and their families. The author reveals an array of strategies employed by those families to come to terms with their postwar reality, including reorganizing and reconstructing the household, turning to local churches for emotional and economic support, pleading with local elites for financial assistance or positions, sending psychologically damaged family members to a state-run asylum, and looking to the state for direct assistance in the form of replacement limbs for amputees, pensions, and even state-supported homes for old soldiers and widows. Although these strategies or institutions for reconstructing the family had their roots in existing practices, the extreme need brought on by the scope and impact of the Civil War required an expansion beyond anything previously seen. McClurken argues that this change serves as a starting point for the study of the evolution of southern welfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From my study of the various companies that were predominately Pittsylvania men, I found over 100 men in those companies came from Henry County. The Henry County men who traveled to Pittsylvania to enlist were most prevalent in Company K of the 38th Virginia Infantry and Company F of the 57th Virginia Infantry. A dozen or more were scattered throughout the Danville Artillery, the 18th Virginia, the 21st Virginia and the 53rd Virginia Infantries. The 9th, 14th, 38th, 53rd, and 57th Virginia Infantries would be in Lewis A. Armistead's Brigade as of May of 1862, so three of five regiments had Henry County men. Battles would include Seven Pines, Malvern Hill, Gettysburg, Chester Station, Drewry's Bluff, Five Forks, and Appomattox. The 18th Virginia Infantry would participate in the same battles, but were also present at the 1st Battle of Manassas.In previous books, I worked on finding Civil War soldiers primarily from Pittsylvania County. My strategy was to go through every page of the 1860 Pittsylvania County census, making note of all men born between 1818-1846. There would be a small percentage of soldiers that did not fit the age range that I planned on searching for later. I apply the same strategy here. There were 178 pages of the 1860 census of Henry County, with room for 40 names per page, so nearly 7,200 people. I listed my interpretation of the names of men in Henry County in 1860 who were born between 1818-1846. That number was 1,426 men. The next step would be to search, man by man, for matching records in the service records.

Book excerpt: This is a history, bookended by wars, of a family deeply rooted for over a century along the banks of the Dan River. It begins with the progenitor arriving in that idyllic Virginia countryside, and concludes with his great-grandchildren leaving it. There is a little of each of us in this story of fortunes won and lost, pioneering spirits, and human frailty. The book focuses primarily on the lives of individuals spanning three generations: William Williams (circa 1728-1780), James Mastin Williams Sr. (1763-1838), and Robert Walker Williams (1807-1865). The experiences of their contemporaries are also selectively explored, to better understand the context of the times. This work is concerned with humans rather than heroes. Like many proud families, ours has its icons. James Mastin Williams, Sr., lionized by others as a child soldier and the founding father of Danville, is certainly among the legends. My work suggests there are grains of truth in the tales about him, but, as the old storyteller himself would have appreciated, there is also considerable exaggeration. Dancing on the Dan goes where the evidence leads, and, in so doing, distinguishes oral tradition from documentation. What little has been written elsewhere about this family is silent on the subject of slavery. The institution of human bondage played a central role in the daily lives of the 17th and 18th century Williams family, and is consequently examined here in as much detail as the incomplete historic record allows.
