William Edmondson "Grumble" Jones was among the most notable
Southwest Virginians to fight in the Civil War. The Washington
County native graduated from Emory & Henry College and West
Point. While an officer in the "Old Army," he watched helplessly as
his wife drowned during the wreck of the steamship Independence. He
resigned his commission in 1857. Resuming his military career as a
Confederate officer, he was a mentor to the legendary John
Singleton Mosby. His many battles included a clash with George
Armstrong Custer near Gettysburg. An internal dispute with his
commanding general, J.E.B. Stuart, resulted in Jones' court-martial
in 1863. He rejoined the war during the 1864 Shenandoah Valley
campaign and died in battle, leaving a mixed legacy.
