Virgin true shall wound" might be
taken as a reference to the terrible
massacres, expeditions of plumber and
destruction in Virginia, named the Vir-
gin colony in honor of Queen Eliza
BETH This country of the virgin was
indeed wounded, for no other section
of the country suffered such bloody
military attacks. It was estimated by
Jefferson that the raids Of Benedict
Arnold through Virginia cost the
enormous sum Of Sic, 100000 in prop

sacrificed under conditions of the
