Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketch of the Battle of Winchester, September 19, 1864: A Paper Read Before the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion of the United States This engagement, styled by Gen. Sheridan, our commander, as the battle of Opequan, to distinguish it from previous contests around Winchester, restored the lower Valley of Virginia to Union control, from which it was never again wrested; it permanently relieved Maryland and Pennsylvania from the periodical invasions to which they had been subjected during three years, and the national capitol from further humiliations. This result had been accomplished by a battle, which, taken with its sequences inflicted upon the Confederate forces, losses in troops nearly as great as those which were sustained by the Union arms an experience fatal to the fast dwindling forces of the South. The moral effect of this victory on the North was most wholesome. The discouragement which had prevailed regarding operations in the Shenandoah Valley since the year 1861 wholly disappeared. The magnetism Sheridan exercised upon his troops spread through the country, and henceforth caused his fortunes in the valley to be watched with the eager expectation and hearty good will which fall to the lot of the favorite soldier. What old soldier here but remembers, with pride, the part he took in the many battles, skrimishes, marches and bivouacs, in that historic valley of Virginia? Beautiful to look upon, and so fertile, that it was styled the granary of Virginia; rich in its well-filled barns, its cattle, its busy mills, the Shenandoah Valley furnished from its abundant crops much of the subsistence of the Rebel army.
