Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketch of the Origin and Erection of the Confederate Memorial Institute at Richmond, Virginia
The Confederate Memorial Institute, known as the Battle Abbey, located at Richmond, Virginia, was the conception of the late Charles Broadway Rouss, who was a gallant private soldier in the Army of Northern Virginia. Mr. Rouss was a native of Winchester, Virginia, and when the War Between the States ended, like nearly all other Confederates, was left poor, by reason of the failure of the Confederacy. But whilst he had lost nearly everything else, he had not lost his love for the Confederate cause and his admiration for the achieve ments of the leaders and other noble defenders wrought in defence of that cause.
