Excerpt from The Record of the Hampden-Sydney Alumni Association, Vol. 30: April 1956 He shows that the citizens of Prince Edward took an active part also in the War of 1812, the Mexican War, and especially that of the War Between the States. Nor does he overlook the spanish-american War, though that lasted only a few months. Of course he has a good deal to say about the first World War and World War II, and the Korean conflict. Mr. Bradshaw draws an excellent picture of the social life in the county and he deals also with the political and educational. In the educational field he naturally has a great deal to say about hampden-sydney during its early days, as it pertains to the historical record of the county which he traces from its foundations, down to the present. His treatment of Longwood College is most complete and comprehensive, showing that Prince Edward did not neglect the education of its young women. He also mentions a number Of private schools which played an important part in the education of the young women of Prince Edward.
