Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Battle of Cedar Creek, October 19, 1864: A Paper Read Before the Massachusetts Military Historical Society, December 8, 1879 This battle was the last of the war for the possession of the Shenandoah Valley. During the four years from 1861 to 1865, each year brought its Shenafidoah Valley campaign, and some years there were several. What happened in 1864 is a fair illustration of the activity of these four years' campaigns, for all were lively: the advance of Hunter to Lynchburg (which failed to capture) in June; his retreat, chased by Early up to the fortifications of Washington, in July; the pursuit of Early via Snicker's Gap by the Sixth Corps; Early's raid across the Potomac and burning of Chambersburg in retaliation for Hunter's destruction of dwelling-houses. Then, on Sheridan's taking command of the Middle Military Division (which included the valley) in August, Early was pushed back to Fisher's Hill; when, on being reinforced by Anderson's division of Longstreet's corps and by Fitzhugh Lee's division of cavalry, which came up by way of Chester Gap and Front Royal, he pushed Sheridan back to Halltown, near Harper's Ferry, only in turn to be driven back to Winchester.

This book was released on 2009-10-07 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled between the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia's Shenandoah Valley enjoyed tremendous prosperity before the Civil War. This valuable stretch of land--called the Breadbasket of the Confederacy due to its rich soil and ample harvests--became the source of many conflicts between the Confederate and Union armies. Of the thirteen major battles fought here, none was more influential than the Battle of Cedar Creek. On October 19, 1864, General Philip Sheridan's Union troops finally gained control of the valley, which eliminated the Shenandoah as a supply source for Confederate forces in Virginia, ended the valley's role as a diversionary theater of war and stopped its use as an avenue of invasion into the North. Civil War historian, preservationist, and author Jonathan A. Noyalas explains the battle and how it aided Abraham Lincoln's reelection campaign and defined Sheridan's enduring legacy.

This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the summer and fall of 1864, Virginia's Shenandoah Valley was one of the most contested regions of the South. Federal armies invaded the Valley three times--twice they were repulsed. This book describes the third campaign, the supreme achievement of the Army of the Potomac's Sixth Corps. One of the most respected units in the Federal Army, the Sixth Corps formed the nucleus of the Federal force that spent several months competing for control of the Valley with a desperate Confederate army, resulting in some of the toughest fighting of the war. Following victories at Winchester and Fisher's Hill the Sixth Corps campaign culminated with a remarkable stand that stopped the attacking enemy and turned what began as a disastrous defeat into a spectacular victory at Cedar Creek.
