“James Pollock who was a Corporal in the 7th Virginia Cavalry, and he was captured at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863. His sister is one of the five female Confederate spies during the war, Sally Pollock. And for many, many years her grave was unmarked and in 2004, we put a wonderful monument up that tells her entire story.”
