Download or read book Walking Down the Shenandoah Valley written by Sally Mertens and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-22 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BLACK AND WHITE, 182 pages, 73 pictures. Starting with her four grandparents, Mertens traces her ancestry back to her four Immigrant Ancestors. Although there are gaps in the history of the four families over three centuries, enough is documented in official records to trust that this is generally a reliable account. Coincidentally, each of the four families moved deep into Virginia's wilderness prior to 1751 when the Great Wagon Road down the Shenandoah Valley was surveyed. Research discovered that her ancestors had walked, one step at a time, down trails Indians had earlier blazed to get to hunting grounds. These pioneer families, one generation after another, walked hundreds of miles through virgin territory, toddlers in tow, without benefit of horses, carts or wagons. It took over a hundred years of successive moves westward before the families finally sunk down roots in America. Genealogical charts are provided for the four families' patriarchs going all the way back to Hubert O'Ferrell, who, driven out of Ireland by Oliver Cromwell, arrived in Virginia in 1658. Timelines of European and American history highlight events which impacted or somehow involved the families. Maps show the families' westward progression down the Shenandoah Valley to where they finally found "home," in areas of pre-revolutionary, colonial Virginia which later became the states of West Virginia and Kentucky.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scene of incessant battles, campaigns, and occupations, Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley had been touched by the Civil War’s cruel hand during four years of conflict. In an effort to commemorate the Civil War’s sesquicentennial in the Shenandoah Valley, historians Jonathan A. Noyalas and Nancy T. Sorrells, have assembled a first-rate team of scholars, on behalf of the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation, to examine the Shenandoah Valley’s Civil War era story. Based on presentations made during the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation’s sesquicentennial conferences, this collection of twelve essays examines a variety of aspects of the Civil War era in the “Breadbasket of the Confederacy.” From analyses of leadership, to the importance of the Second Battle of Winchester, to the various campaigns’ impact on the Valley’s demographically diverse population; the complexities of unionism in the Shenandoah, to General Robert H. Milroy’s enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation; the role poetry and art played in immortalizing the event of Sheridan’s Ride; and the postwar activities of the Valley’s Ladies Memorial Associations, as well as attempts by members of the Sheridan’s Veterans’ Association to advance postwar reconciliation, this diverse collection illuminates the varying and complex ways in which the conflict impacted the Valley, and how the events in the Shenandoah impacted the Civil War’s outcome.

This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African American experience in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley from the antebellum period through Reconstruction This book examines the complexities of life for African Americans in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley from the antebellum period through Reconstruction. Although the Valley was a site of fierce conflicts during the Civil War and its military activity has been extensively studied, scholars have largely ignored the Black experience in the region until now. Correcting previous assumptions that slavery was not important to the Valley, and that enslaved people were treated better there than in other parts of the South, Jonathan Noyalas demonstrates the strong hold of slavery in the region. He explains that during the war, enslaved and free African Americans navigated a borderland that changed hands frequently—where it was possible to be in Union territory one day, Confederate territory the next, and no-man’s land another. He shows that the region’s enslaved population resisted slavery and supported the Union war effort by serving as scouts, spies, and laborers, or by fleeing to enlist in regiments of the United States Colored Troops. Noyalas draws on untapped primary resources, including thousands of records from the Freedmen’s Bureau and contemporary newspapers, to continue the story and reveal the challenges African Americans faced from former Confederates after the war. He traces their actions, which were shaped uniquely by the volatility of the struggle in this region, to ensure that the war’s emancipationist legacy would survive.
