Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketch of the Battle of Winchester, September 19, 1864: A Paper Read Before the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion of the United States
Looking at the Shenandoah Valley in history, we see that it was the scene of constant Confederate maneuvering, whether on a large scale, under Stonewall Jackson Ewell and Early, or on a smaller one under Ashby, Mosny, Imboden and Gilmor. From the first, it was a tempting field for the strategists of both armies. The initial campaign of the war turned on the use made of the Valleyr by the forces which Gen. J. E. Johnston posted at its outlet, under the name of the Army of the Shenandoah. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
