To add to the attractions of this
spot two bronze tablets have been set
in the base of the tower. The first is
TO the memory of the Confederate SOL

sentiment of the legend is clothed in
some fine word painting. which does
as much credit to the nameless au-

"This bronze commentaries, to gen

lowed Jackson and Stuart, with many
in other companies.
No rebels they, but worthy sons of
patriotic sires, who took up arms in
the hour of their States extremity,
when argument for peace was ended,
to defend the soil. the homes and the
constitutional rights won by their
fathers. The world has seen no brav-
er nor truer soldiery than the yeomen
whose deeds made glorious this Valley
of the Shenandoah, and their fame
rests secure as their native bills.
If they justified not the cause for
which they were ready to die, they en-
nobled themselves; and may be for
given by the sons OF men who for con-
science sake fought against their gov

The other tablet commemor crates the
early settlers of this great Valley Of

now living, shall have passed away,

killed his sweetheart near Richmond a

Shortly before the tragic event he told
a number of his friends that he was
weary of life and would soon end his
useless career. With all his faults he
seemed to be man of truth.
