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.

Download or read book Bloody Autumn written by Daniel T. Davis and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2014-01-19 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “essential addition to serious students’ libraries” detailing the historic military offensive that helped sway the outcome of the American Civil War (Civil War News). In the late summer of 1864, Union General-in-Chief Ulysses S. Grant set one absolutely unconditional goal: to sweep Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley “clean and clear.” His man for the job: Maj. Gen. “Little Phil” Sheridan—a temperamental Irishman who’d proven himself just the kind of scrapper Grant loved. The valley had already played a major part in the war for the Confederacy as both the location of major early victories against Union attacks, and as the route used by the Army of Northern Virginia for its invasion of the North, culminating in the battle of Gettysburg. But when Sheridan returned to the Valley in 1864, the stakes heightened dramatically. For the North, the fragile momentum its war effort had gained by the capture of Atlanta would quickly evaporate. For Abraham Lincoln, defeat in the Valley could mean defeat in the upcoming election. And for the South, its very sovereignty lay on the line. Here, historians Davis and Greenwalt “weave an excellent summary of the campaign that will serve to introduce those new to the Civil War to the events of that ‘Bloody Autumn’ and will serve as a ready refresher for veteran stompers who are heading out to visit those storied fields of conflict” (Scott C. Patchan, author of The Last Battle of Winchester).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shenandoah Valley and Virginia, 1861 to 1865: A War Study No section of the United States furnishes a fuller picture of the extraordinary operations of two American armies, pitted against each other for four long years, than does the beautiful "Valley of Virginia," from Harper's Ferry south to Staunton. Its most important city, Winchester, in the lower valley, was occupied or abandoned sixty-eight times by the troops of both armies, as has been said by men of the period of 1861 to 1865, still living there. Indeed, that city changed commanders so frequently and so suddenly that it became customary for the inhabitants to ascertain each morning, before leaving their dwellings, which flag was flying - the Stars and Stripes or the Stars and Bars. Aside from its superb location, framed in by the Blue Ridge on the east and the Alleghenies on the west, the bottom lands watered by the two branches of the Shenandoah on either side of the main valley, it produced wonderful crops of grain and droves of horses, cattle and swine, proving a bountiful granary to either army that occupied it.

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: "The eleven essays in this volume re-examine common assumptions about the campaign, its major figures, and its significance. Taking advantage of the most recent scholarship and a wide range of primary sources, contributors examine strategy and tactics, the performances of key commanders on each side, the campaign's political repercussions, and the experiences of civilians caught in the path of the armies. The authors do not always agree with one another, but, taken together, their essays highlight important connections between the home front and the battlefield, as well as ways in which military affairs, civilian experience, and politics played off one another during the campaign."--BOOK JACKET.
