Interesting CW story

[L Verge]

We've been searching for sites to include on our bus tours for Conference 2018 at Surratt House. I found this interesting little story while reading about a home in Front Royal, Virginia:

Many wounded soldiers were cared for at the McKay house, where blood stained the floors for years. Dabney Eastham, of Co. B, 6th Virginia Cavalry, was believed to be mortally wounded and was left lying in the yard. The next morning, when his father arrived from Rappahannock County to claim his son's body, he found that the grass and mud had clotted his wound and saved his life. To avoid opening the wound, the sod was taken up with him when he was carried into the house. Eastham survived, and left many descendants in Rappahannock and Warren County.

My father, a native of southern Virginia, would probably say, "You can't kill a good Virginia boy."
