Culpeper Confederate

Courthouse, Culpeper, Virginia.
The was one battle here in September 1863 in which Geo. Custer was wounded. This statue, like so many throughout the south dedicated by the Confederate Veterans, before of our CSV, reminds one of the sacrifices of Culpeper's sons the defend their homes against the "War of Northern Aggression" Not visible are two seals below the cannon ball: Virginia (thus so to tyrants) and the Confederacy (God vindicates). Virginia is an awesome looking warrior in this version: no less so than her namesake. Elizabeth I. There are around the base six circular slabs that likely held other forms at some time. The camp was AP Hill Camp whose boyhood home site is only 75 meters east and who distinguished himself in many engagements
