No less than seventy-three were Virginians, a vivid testimony to the leadership available among the sons of the Old Dominion. Of these, sixteen brigadiers gave their lives in the great conflict. Unlike most contemporary generals of like rank, those of Civil War vintage personally brought their troops into battle, leading by example.
