Military Operations in Jefferson County (Virginia & West Virginia) 1861-1865 (Containing Eyewitness Accounts of Civil War Skirmishes in the Lower Shenandoah Valley)

An update of the 1996 edition of military operations in the lower Shenandoah Valley, the book offers brief, often eyewitness accounts of the skirmishes in the four years of the Civil War. Jefferson County today is proud of its heritage, though it is still somewhat divided in its loyalties even at this time. While clearly with the Union, there seems to be sympathies that lean heavily to the cause of the South.
