Valley of Virginia Flourish Through Veterans Sons
A 1924 note from Mountain Falls Virginia recalls 1865 to 1924 when sons of veterans rebuilt the Valley after the Civil War. They cleared ruins, planted trees, sowed wheat, and stocked farms as the apple blossom beauty emerged, a testament to perseverance and pride in the Old Dominion. Monuments lie in the work of those who crossed the bar and those who followed.
