Excerpt from Battle Roll of Surry County, Virginia, in the War Between the States: With Historical and Personal Notes
The preparation of this Battle Roll, with its accompanying notes, has been undertaken with fraternal and tender regard for the Men in Gray, the Southern patriots, who went forth to war from Surry county, Virginia, in 1861- '65. It would, indeed, be "a wrong to them and a shame to us" if the names of those men were allowed to pass into oblivion for lack of some proper effort to perpetuate their memory and endear their services to posterity.
In this labor I have been greatly aided by several of my former companions in arms, especially to Comrade Richard R. Savedge, whose recollections of those evil days and of scenes, persons and events connected therewith remain still very vivid and accurate. To many others my thanks are also due and are hereby gratefully tendered.
And particularly am I indebted to that gallant old soldier, Captain Jacob H. Clements, of Company G, 13th Virginia Cavalry, for pretty full information in relation to the two cavalry commands of Surry. By his help, that branch of our military makes a far better showing than it would have been possible to present from the otherwise very meagre data at my command.
