The New York Times editorialized that it was "the old story over again. The back door, by way of the Shenandoah Valley, has been left invitingly open." The Republican administration in Washington was feeling the heat and again tried to marshal the seemingly uncontrollable bureaucracy of the Union Army Corps. This volume is the first full exposition of the detail and significance of that fateful summer in the valley-- the last for the Confederacy. Assembled from regimental histories as well as diaries, letters, and memoirs from men of both Union and Confederate armies, this is a stirring account of the final and decisive Shenandoah Valley campaign. Maps, photographs, order of battle, bibliography,notes, appendices and index.
