41. By Special Staff of Writers, History of Virginia, Volume V, VA Biography, (The American Historical Society, Chicago and New York, 1924.), 186, "At the age of seventeen, in April, 1864, Mr Page enlisted in the Rockbridge Battery, under Captain Graham, and was soon detailed a courier for Col Thomas H Carter. His first engagement was in the Battle of the Wilderness, May 5, 1864, and he was in the fighting until the close of that campaign at Cold Harbor on June 3. On June 8 the Second Corps, to which his command was attached, was sent to the Shenandoah Valley, but his own troops did not follow until September 1, being left to take care of some important duties below Richmond. His first important fight in the valley was the battle of Winchester, September 19, 1864, followed by Fisher's Hill on the 22nd and Cedar Creek on October 19. There was also much skirmishing until the battery went into winter camp at Fishersville, near Staunton. Leaving there in March, 1865, he joined the Second Corps at Petersburg and participated in the defensive fighting there until April 2, when the Confederate Army began its retreat toward Amelia Court House. The command was in the battle of Farmville, and at Appomattox. Mr Page was at the surrender, and he still has the parole issued to him April 9, the parole being dated April 10th, and signed by his Colonel T H Carter, stating that he may go home and there remain undisturbed 'until exchanged.'."

43. By Special Staff of Writers, History of Virginia, Volume V, VA Biography, (The American Historical Society, Chicago and New York, 1924.), 186, "He is a rare type of the old school Southern gentleman, aristocratic in bearing and manner, a stranger to deception or questionable dealings, and has measured up to the highest ideals of manhood."

45. By Special Staff of Writers, History of Virginia, Volume V, VA Biography, (The American Historical Society, Chicago and New York, 1924.), 186, "Saratoga, the country home of Mr Page, is one of the most beautiful remaining examples of old Revolutionary architecture and home building in the Valley of Virginia. It is rich in tradition and association. The beautiful old mansion was erected while the war for independence was in progress. Gen. Daniel Morgan in building his home did everything on a large and generous scale, and though it was built in the forests of Western Frederick County it still stands as one of the noblest pieces of architecture there. Not far away was a prison camp where Hessian soldiers were confined, and General Morgan used the labor of these prisoners in constructing his home. Its three stories of blue limestone look as fresh after a century and a half of exposure to the elements as if its unveiling had occurred but recently. Under its present owner it has kept much of the atmosphere that distinguished it during the many years that General Morgan lived there."
