Download or read book Valley Thunder written by Charles R. Knight and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2010-05-10 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “exciting and informative” account of the Civil War battle that opened the 1864 Shenandoah Valley Campaign, with illustrations included (Lone Star Book Review). Charles Knight’s Valley Thunder is the first full-length account in decades to examine the combat at New Market on May 15, 1864 that opened the pivotal Shenandoah Valley Campaign. Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, who set in motion the wide-ranging operation to subjugate the South in 1864, intended to attack on multiple fronts so the Confederacy could no longer “take advantage of interior lines.” A key to success in the Eastern Theater was control of the Shenandoah Valley, an agriculturally abundant region that helped feed Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia. Grant tasked Maj. Gen. Franz Sigel, a German immigrant with a mixed fighting record, and a motley collection of units numbering some 10,000 men to clear the Valley and threaten Lee’s left flank. Opposing Sigel was Maj. Gen. (and former US Vice President) John C. Breckinridge, who assembled a scratch command to repulse the Federals. Included in his 4,500-man army were Virginia Military Institute cadets under the direction of Lt. Col. Scott Ship, who’d marched eighty miles in four days to fight Sigel. When the armies faced off at New Market, Breckinridge told the cadets, “Gentlemen, I trust I will not need your services today; but if I do, I know you will do your duty.” The sharp fighting seesawed back and forth during a drenching rainstorm, and wasn’t concluded until the cadets were inserted into the battle line to repulse a Federal attack and launch one of their own. The Union forces were driven from the Valley, but would return, reinforced and under new leadership, within a month. Before being repulsed, they would march over the field at New Market and capture Staunton, burn VMI in Lexington (partly in retaliation for the cadets’ participation at New Market), and very nearly capture Lynchburg. Operations in the Valley on a much larger scale that summer would permanently sweep the Confederates from the “Bread Basket of the Confederacy.” Valley Thunder is based on years of primary research and a firsthand appreciation of the battlefield terrain. Knight’s objective approach includes a detailed examination of the complex prelude leading up to the battle, and his entertaining prose introduces soldiers, civilians, and politicians who found themselves swept up in one of the war’s most gripping engagements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sheridan's Veterans, Vol. 2: A Souvenir of Their Third Campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, 1864-1883-1885; September 15-24, 1885 IT is probable that the excursionists of 1885 will read this volume with all the more zest because of the delay in its issue. Yet the author did not intend to whet any such appetite. This souvenir has been delayed for several months in order to obtain the necessary material to make it a complete and satis factory record of the excursion. The author was absolutely dependent upon prominent members of the Association for in formation, reports of speeches, incidents, etc., of which the manager could not be personally cognizant. There has, how ever, seemed to be a quite prevalent feeling that there was no need of haste in the premises. The preparation of this record has been pushed as rapidly as possible, and with this consid eration the author begs the indulgence of the subscribers to the Souvenir. The programme of the excursion of 1885 was twice as extensive as that of 1888, and it is believed that the second trip is better reported in this volume than was the former excursion in Sou'vemr No. 1. If there are any omis sions, If the efiort and the part of some of the officials or com mittees, or individual members of the Association, are not properly recorded, the critic is here reminded that the defect or omission is due to the failure of somebody to furnish prom ised or requested information. Several such broken promises are on the list. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, 1864: A Paper Read Before the Eighth Vermont Volunteers and First Vermont Cavalry, at Their Annual Re-Union, in Montpelier, Vermont, November 2, 1886 This campaign was a notable one. No campaign during the four years of bloody war attracted more attention; none saw fiercer fighting or more decisive results. It was a series of brilliant manoeuvres and masterly lightning-strokes. Walled in between two majestic mountains lay the beautiful Shenandoah Valley; while along its entire length ran a splendid macadamized pike, over which the iron hoofs of war rode rough-shod. The spirit form of romance hovered in splendor in the clouds that shadowed the blue mountain-sides, the beauty of which was heightened by the terrible drama of war. Here in this wonderful valley the renowned Stonewall Jackson had suddenly appeared with his legions, and, after striking a stinging blow, then as suddenly disappeared. Through this valley the veteran Lee had swept in resistless fury with his mighty host. Here, and later, the foaming black steed with tremendous speed bore his rider Sheridan down to his army twenty miles away. It was on the eve of a great presidential election. The giants of war. Grant and Lee, had sent their best troops to contend for this historic highway leading down to Washington. Hence the eyes of the world turned to the Shenandoah Valley and this campaign. The services of a regiment should not always be computed by its number of engagements. The Second Vermont Brigade at Gettysburg were then comparatively raw troops; but by striking at the right moment, they won imperishable renown in a single encounter with Pickett's braves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shenandoah Valley in 1864 The mountain region of Virginia, from the beginning of the war, held a close military relation to the broad plain that stretches from the foot of the Blue Ridge to the sea, and it eventually became the theatre of a series of campaigns at once picturesque and decisive. The State was like a vast fortress or intrenched camp, thrown out above the line of the other ten Confederate commonwealths to guard their capital. Its parallel rivers, flowing to the Atlantic, were water-barriers against attack from the north, while upreared to shield its western front were the rampart ridges of its highland domain. The valleys between these ridges furnished well-sheltered avenues for invading Northern territory. Of these avenues the most commanding was the Valley of Virginia, called also, from the chief river that drains it, the Valley of the Shenandoah. Its eastern wall is the lofty Blue Ridge; its western, the North Mountains, a part of the main chain of the Alleghanies.

Book excerpt: "The Battle of New Market, though a smaller conflict, represented a crucial moment in the Union's offensive movements in the spring of 1864 and became the last major Confederate victory in the Shenandoah Valley. The results of the battle between Franz Sigel and John C. Breckinridge - with the Virginia Military Institute Cadets pushing the conflict in the Confederates' favor - altered the campaigns of Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee and the course of the American Civil War in Virginia."--Provided by publisher.
