Summary
  • "The Battle of Fisher's Hill created a greater opportunity to destroy harvests fromthe breadbasket of the Confederacy than any other Union victory in the hotly contested Shenandoah Valley. Union major general Philip Sheridan's men forcedConfederate lieutenant general Jubal A. Early's smaller force to retreat, leading to the burning of barns and mills across the region. In this first-ever book focused on this engagement, Civil War historian Jonathan A. Noyalas explains the battle, its effect on area civilians and its meaning to both sides, as well as the battlefield's important role in postwar reunion and reconciliation"--
  • "A brief, illustrated history of the Battle of Fisher's Hill, a critical Union victory in the Shenandoah Valley during the Civil War"--
