This book is a heartfelt story of how the Civil
War affected the lives of a Shenandoah Valley Family. When war broke out, four
brothers of the Daniel Hite family joined the ranks of the Confederate Army.
Three of them campaigned with the famous Stonewall Brigade and the other served
in Robert E. Lee's bodyguard. Their story is told in some eighty wartime letters
plus a year's diary by one of the brothers. The family mterial is supplemented
with excerpts from unpublished diaries of other "Page Grey" comrades. The Hite
story is not only one of soldiers and campaigning, but also one of how war
impacted an entire family and community. Contents of letters detail not only the
discomforts of camp and campaign, but also shed light about the problems of farm
management in wartime. Throughout it all, the family must cope with wartime
hardship and the loss of three sons. Price: $25.00
