Union and Confederate forces fought over and occupied Winchester, Virginia during the
entire Civil War. The town’s location at the north end of Virginia’s Shenandoah
Valley plus its road and rail network meant that civilians and their property would
not be spared the sword. This book,written by history professor and Shenandoah
Valley expert Brandon Beck, is a concise driving tour and history of three battles
fought around the town: the First Battle of Winchester in May 1862; the Second Battle
of Winchester in June 1863; and the Third Battle of Winchester in September 1864.
Civil War buffs and those interested in tracing the trail of their Union and
Confederate veteran relatives will want to make this book a companion as they travel
the roads and battlefields around Virginia’s most war-torn town.
