Many Archer residents are descendants of slaves and some of the nation s earliest Black landowners. And they want nothing to do with a 50-megawatt solar and 12-MW battery storage project proposed by Origis Energy and Gainesville Regional Utilities, or GRU. The project would span roughly 600 acres, and developers said the panels would be tucked behind a buffer of trees. Yet in residents eyes, a utility-scale solar array is no

Carter, William Richard (1833–1864) – Encyclopedia Virginia

William Richard Carter was born on April 22, 1833, on the Nottoway County farm of his parents, Martha Anderson Craig Gregory Carter and Sharpe Carter, a farmer, sometime schoolmaster, and charter member of the Nottoway Library Society. Carter excelled in his studies at Hampden-Sydney College from 1848 until 1852, when he graduated with high honors in chemistry. Exhibiting talent as an essayist, he served as clerk for the college’s Union Literary Society and in 1850 and 1851 was elected vice president. Recommendations from his professors led to Carter’s employment in February 1853 at the Flat Rock Female Seminary in Lunenburg County, but after two years he became restless. He inquired about buying a newspaper, but nothing came of it.

CLARK B HALL: Union army stamped its heel upon Culpeper

âRichard III EDITORâS NOTE: Americaâs COVID-19 death rate has skyrocketed since Thanksgiving, and disease experts say weâre in for a hard winter. But the nation has surmounted tough times before, just as Culpeper County did in the Civil War winter of 1863-64. In December 1863, three years of what Shakespeare would call a âgrim-visaged warâ had already devastated Culpeper. But matters were about to get a whole lot worse for the countyâs war-weary residents hunkered down between the Rappahhanock and Rapidan rivers. Before the Civil War concluded, two dynamics collided head-on in Culpeper County, and one reality triumphed over the other, 157 years past.
