This Bronze
Commemorates, To Generations
Which Knew Then Not,
The Virginia VolunteersFrom Augusta In The Army Of The Confederate States.Twenty-Two Companies FromHere Followed By Jackson AndStuart, With Many In Other Commands.
No Rebels They, But WorthySons Of Patriotic Sites, WhoTook Arms In The Hour Of Their State's Extremity,When Argument For Peace WasEnded, To Defend The Soil,The Homes And The Consti-Tutional Rights Won ByTheir Fathers. The WorldHas Seen No Braver NorTruer Soldiery Than TheYeomen Whose Deeds MadeGlorious This Valley Of The Shenandoah, And Their FameRests Secure As Their Native Hills.
If They Justified Not The Cause For Which They WereReady To Die, They EnnobledThemselves, And May Be"Forgiven By The Sons OfMen Who For ConscienceSake Fought Against TheirGovernment At LexingtonAnd Bunker Hill."
