Description
Union and Confederate forces fought over and occupied Winchester, Virginia during the entire Civil War. The town's location at the north end of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley plus its road and rail network meant that civilians and their property would not be spared the sword. This book, written by history professor and Shenandoah Valley expert Brandon Beck, is a concise driving tour and history of three battles fought around the town: the First Battle of Winchester in March 1862; the Second Battle of Winchester in June 1863; and the Third Battle of Winchester in September 1864. Civil War buffs and those interested in tracing their Union and Confederate veteran relatives' path will want to make this book a companion as they travel the roads and battlefields around Virginia's most war-torn town.
