Description of "The Bloody Twenty-ninth" The Twenth-ninth Virginia Infantry Regiment was raised in southwest Virginia. The counties of Tazewell, Russell, Buchannon, Carroll, and Scott mostly supplies men for this Regiment. This book is based on truth and is written in Historic-Fiction fashion. I keep names, dates, places, and events accurate but add conversations, passion, opinions, and reactions. You will be amazed atwhat these mountain farm men and boys accomplished in defending their homes, families, and their country, Virginia against over- whelming odds for four long years.
