Description

General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1862 is one of the most studied campaigns on the American Civil War. The campaign lasted from March until June 1862. At the time of the beginning of the Valley Campaign, Major-General George B. McClellan's 100,000-man Army of the Potomac was being moved to the Virginia Peninsula to march on and capture the Confederate capital of Richmond. Meanwhile, Jackson had received orders to keep Union forces in the Shenandoah Valley and protect the flank of the retreating Confederate army in Northern Virginia under the command of General Joseph E. Johnston as they made their way to Richmond. Also, Jackson hoped to threaten Washington, D. C. with his actions in the Shenandoah Valley. From March until June, Jackson fought battles at Kernstown, McDowell, Front Royal, Winchester, Harpers Ferry, Cross Keys, and Port Republic. Throughout the Shenandoah Valley Campaign, journalists from local and national newspapers followed the armies, writing news articles and giving their readers first-hand accounts of the campaigning and fighting. Newspapers are some of the last sources of information on America's Civil War, and many times their information is new to historians. The Valley News Echo is one such newspaper containing local and national news stories on the American Civil War. The news stories cover the Shenandoah Valley Campaign from March through June, including period photographs and sketches.
