Shenandoah 1864 - Sheridan's valley campaign

Informationen zum Autor Mark Lardas, illustrated by Adam Hook Klappentext For three years of war the Union and the Confederacy had battled over the picturesque Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east and the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians to the west, the valley served as the granary for the Army of Northern Virginia. It provided bread and beef to feed this shield of the Confederacy and remounts for its cavalry. This beautifully illustrated study explores one of the major campaigns of the Civil War in 1864, which saw a decisive victory for the Union forces under Sheridan and featured some of the most famous commanders of the war, including Philip Sheridan, Jubal Early, George Armstrong Custer, John B. Gordon and George Crook. Zusammenfassung For three years of war the Union and the Confederacy had battled over the picturesque Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
