Major Joseph Eggleston was a native of Amelia. He was a highly meritorious
officer of Lee's legion, and served through the whole of the southern campaigns.
At the conclusion of the war he turned his attention to literature. He was a
member of Congress in 1798-9, where he served with credit. He was cut off in the
flower of his age, by the effects of an amputation of a disordered limb.

section, p. 173-175.
