Here are two excerpts from the introductory chapter: The corps (minutemen in the Revolutionary War) were dressed in green hunting shirts with the words "Libery or Death" in large letters on their bosoms. A wag on seeing this, remarked it was too severe for him; but that he was willing to enlist if the words were altered to "Liberty or Be Crippled." Jno. Gillison ... was struck ... by a musket ball; the surgeon examined the wound ... and then, lifting up his hands, exclaimed "Oh captain! It is a noble wound, right in the middle of the forehead, and no harm done!" Some of the various subjects include: The Culpeper of Today (1900, that is) with names of many noted residents; The Culpeper Minute Men including a brief excerpt from a Revolutionary War Journal, an incident in the life of Gen.
