Excerpt from Red Rock: A Chronicle of Reconstruction No doubt the phrase Before the war is at times somewhat abused. It is just possible that there is a certain Caleb Ba lderston ism in the speech at times. But for those who knew the old County as it was then, and can contrast it with what it has become since, no wonder it seems that even the moonlight was richer and mellower before the war than it is now. For one thing, the moonlight as well as the sunlight shines brighter in our youth than in maturer age and gold and gossamer amid the rose-bowers reflect it better than serge and crepe amid myrtles and bays. The great thing is not to despond even though the brilliancy be dimmed: in the new glitter one need not necessarily forget the old radiance. Happily, when one of the wise men insists that it shall be forgotten. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Lee would come to serve as the model figure of Southern Heroism.[3] Page left Washington College before graduation for financial reasons after three years, but continued to desire an education specifically in law. To earn money to pay for his degree, Page tutored the children of his cousins in Kentucky. From 1873 to 1874, he was enrolled in the law school of the University of Virginia.
