About This Item
Per DJ front cover, subtitle is: Shenandoah Valley, May 1864: battleground of two great armies - and 258 young V.M.I. cadets.
From quote on back DJ cover: "Few medium-sized engagements of the Civil War had more long-range importance and effect on affairs of both North and South than the 1864 battle fought in the rain at New Market, Virginia. Similarly, fewer than half a dozen battles of that war have received as thorough a treatment as William C. Davis imparts here. His definitive account will long stand as the starting point for any study of the decisive campaign for the Shenandoah Valley." - James I. Robertson, Jr.
