" Keeping their spirit alive"
Who Are the United
Daughters
of the Confederacy?
The United Daughters
of the Confederacy (UDC) is a Southern heritage
organization made up
of the direct and collateral female descendants of the soldiers,
sailors,
and statesmen of the
Confederate States of America (1861-1865). The aims of the General
organization, which
was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1894 and reorganized in
Atlanta,
Georgia,
in 1895, are to
preserve
and protect the historical writings of the Confederacy, the true history
of its people, and
historic sites of Cofederate valor, while honoring the memory
of those gallant boys
in gray.
Those who wish to
pursue
membership in the United Daughters of the Confederacy through
Luray Chapter #436
are invited to contact a chapter
member
for further information.
