Learn more about the regional history of the Civil War! William S. Connery, is coming to One More Page to discuss and sign his book "Civil War Northern Virginia 1861."

In the mid-nineteenth century, Arlington was an eleven-hundred-acre estate managed by U.S. Colonel and Mrs. Robert E. Lee; Fairfax, Prince William and Loudoun Counties consisted of rolling farmland and tiny villages. This peaceful region was thrown into chaos as South Carolina seceded from the Union in December 1860 and other slave states followed.
