They Were Heard From introduces the reader to the greatest generation of the 19th century. It illuminates the record of VMI trained officers - they were heard from in every rank from private to general; they were found on every battlefield and they fell in greater numbers than any other college alumni body in the South. When the war ended they took leadership roles in business and government, carrying out the VMI education model of the Citizen-Soldier.
