"""Returning to Virginia in 1851 after the death of his first wife, he meets LaSalle Corbell, a schoolgirl from Chuckatuck, Virginia!. In 1861, after resigning his commission in the United States Army, he returns to Richmond, and starts courting LaSalle, now a woman of 20!. He corresponds frequently with her, and sees her whenever he can, sometimes leaving his division without permission, to spend time with her!. They are married shortly after the Battle of Gettysburg, in 1863!. George and "Sallie" have two sons, George Jr!. and Corbell!."""
