Journal of the Shenandoah Valley During the Civil War Era Volume 4 - Paperback

by Cheyenne Nimes (Author), Robert Grandchamp (Author), Scott Patchan (Author)

The Journal of the Shenandoah Valley During the Civil War Era is published annually by Shenandoah University's McCormick Civil War Institute. The Journal's goal is to provide fresh perspectives on seldom-studied aspects of the Civil War era in one of the most oft-contested regions during the Civil War--Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. The Journal examines the Civil War era broadly and examines aspects of memory, social, military, and political history. This particular volume consists of a biographical roster of Confederate soldiers killed or mortally wounded at the Battle of Cool Spring, the 1862 diary of Ephraim Burket (a hospital steward in the 110th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry), essays about Battery G, First Rhode Island Light Artillery during the 1864 Shenandoah Campaign and General William Averell's cavalry division at the Third Battle of Winchester, and a glimpse into the experiences of African Americans in Clarke, Frederick, and Warren counties as revealed through the records of the Southern Claims Commission.
