About Me

My photo
Pat Sullivan
In my companion blogs, Spotsylvania Memory and Rockbridge Memory, I tell the stories of some of Virginia's richly documented historical families. Drawing on original photographs, letters and other source material, I seek to provide an intimate look at the lives of some remarkable people who lived in the 19th and early 20th centuries. My book, "No Matter What Befalls Me: Virginia Families at War and Peace," was published in 2015. It is available from the Orange County Historical Society at: https://shop.orangecovahist.org/shop?olsPage=products/w1502&olsFocus=false All original material in this blog copyrighted 2016.
