Many spectators at re-enactment events have asked me
to put something up on the 22nd Virginia Infantry and do
it soon before this historical unit's history fades
away. The 22nd Virginia history was compiled from
information obtained by using these resources. Other
information was delivered by ancestors who wanted to
share for the intent to educate the public.
