Two Valley scholars write wartime history and more
A rambling colonial era dispatch notes Col. Win. Alien and Prof. J. Yotehkiss of Staunton as authors of a Confederate Army history. It covers thefts, prison tales, Johnson speeches, and political bars at length while mingling anecdotes about Davis, Libby Prison, and patched constitutional debates with odd local tales and Punch-style quips.
