THE CAMPAIGN THE SHENANDOAH
VALLEY IN 1864.
A Paper Read at the Annual Feunion of
the Eighth Vermont Regiment, at
Montpelier, Nov. g, 1886, by Col
Herbert Il. Hill, of Boston.

This campaign was a notable one, No
campaign during the four years bloody
war attracted more attention; none saw
fiercer fighting or more decisive results.
Ii was IA series of brilliant manoeuVreS
and mastery lightning strokes. Walled III
bewteen two majestic mountains lay the
beautiful Shenandoah Valley, while along
its entire length ran splendid macadam-
lied pike, over which the iron hoois of war
rode rough shod. The spirit form of rom
ance lowered in splendor in the clouds
that Swallowed the blue mountain sides,
the beauty of which was heightened by
the terrible drama of war.
Here in this wonderful valley the re
nOwned Stonewall Jackson mad suddenly
appeared with his legions, and after strlk-
ing singing blow, then as suddenly dis
appeared. Through this valley the vet
eran Lee had swept in resistless fury with
his mighty host. Here, and later, the
toaming black steed with tremendous
speed bore his rider sheridan down to his
army twenty miles away" 1t was on
the eve of great presidential election.
The giants of war. Grant and Lee, had
sent their best troops to contend for TINS
historic highway leading down to Wash

turned TO the Shenandoah Valley and this
campaign. The services of regiment
should not always be computed by its
number of engagements The 2d Yer
mont brigade at Gettysburg were then
comparatively raw troops, but by striking
at the right moment they won imperisha-
bic renown in "a single encounter with
Pickett's braves.
The Sth regiment, or detachments of it,
was under fire on slXty-two different oc
casions when men were killed or wound
ed, and was one of the regiments that
were entitled TO the name of veteran, but
not To these facts SO much as 10 that
which it was permitted to accomplish in
one or two great battles, does tuis paper
deal with at this reunion.
High noon, September 10, 1864, found
the demon of war playing wild havoc with
mems blood and lives, rs Sheridan and
Early struggled for mastery on the plains
of Winchester. The wild shout Of Union
troops in the woods and beyond signalled
that they had penetrated the enemy's
