Wittenberg, award-winning author of Gettysburg’s ForgottenCavalry Actions The Third Battle of Winchester in September 1864 wasthe largest, longest, and bloodiest battle fought in the ShenandoahValley. What began about daylight did not end until dusk, when thevictorious Union army routed the Confederates. It was the first timeStonewall Jackson’s former corps had ever been driven from abattlefield, and their defeat set the stage for the final climax of theValley Campaign. This book represents the first serious study tochronicle the battle. The Northern victory was a long time coming.After a spring and summer of Union defeat in the Valley, Lt. Gen.Ulysses S. Grant cobbled together a formidable force under PhilSheridan, an equally redoubtable commander. Sheridan’s task was a tallone: sweep Jubal Early’s Confederate army out of the bountifulShenandoah, and reduce the verdant region of its supplies. Theaggressive Early had led the veterans of Jackson’s Army of the ValleyDistrict to one victory after another at Lynchburg, Monocacy, SnickersGap, and Kernstown. Five weeks of complex maneuvering and sporadiccombat followed before the opposing armies met at Winchester, animportant town that had changed hands dozens of times over the previousthree years. Tactical brilliance and ineptitude were on displaythroughout the daylong affair as Sheridan threw infantry and cavalryagainst the thinning Confederate ranks and Early and his generalsshifted to meet each assault. A final blow against Early’s left flankfinally collapsed the Southern army, killed one of the Confederacy’sfinest combat generals, and planted the seeds of the victory at CedarCreek the following month. This vivid account—based on more than twodecades of meticulous research and an unparalleled understanding of thebattlefield, and rich is analysis and character development—iscomplemented with numerous original maps and explanatory footnotes thatenhance our understanding of this watershed battle.
