James Edward Sebrell: The Man Who Built a Virginia Legacy
James Edward Sebrell (1833–1924) was more than just a local leader; he was a “prism” through which we can see the massive changes in Virginia during the 19th century. Over his 91-year life, he transformed from a scholar and physician into a soldier, legislator, and the namesake of a town. His story is one of resilience, moving from the old world of plantation aristocrats to the industrial age of railroads and modern government.
