The village is about three miles east of Appomattox Station, now know simply as Appomattox.Rob Stephensonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-87356465890383228812013-04-12T22:33:45.367-07:002013-04-12T22:33:45.367-07:00The nostalgia of honor is a bit more pungent when ...The nostalgia of honor is a bit more pungent when its absence is so imbued.
