Gordonsville and isolate Lynchburg
from Richmond and Petersburg. Two
forces under General Torbert and Gen.
eral Custer moved up the valley, but
Custer was checked by Confederate
cavalry under the noted General Ros-
ser, and Torbert met with determined
resistance at Gordonsville. The cam
paign took place during a winter storm,
and the roads were slippery with ice.
The expedition proved that the cam
paigning season in the valley was end
ed, and Sheridan's troops went into
winter quarters, not to emerge until the
end of February.
The 9th of February Sheridan again
started up the valley from Winchester
Under orders from Grant to destroy the
Virginia Central railroad and the
James river canal, then capture Lynch

and near Rockfish gap, in the Blue

At the beginning Of the year General
Early had a consultation with General
Lee at Richmond, and 1t was decided
to keep up the appearance Of large
force in the valley by skillful manip-
ulation Of the small command remain
ing out of the force which had met
Sheridan at Cedar creek. The great
drought of 1884, supplemented by the
torch applied by Sheridan, left no for
age for the cavalry and artillery horses,
and they had to be sent elsewhere for
the winter. Early retained Wharton's
division of infantry and Nelson's bat
TALON of artillery. The partisan ran
gers under the noted Mcneil and Wood
son scattered over the country to sub
sist themselves. Major Harry Gilmors

Baltimore and Ohio railroad for field

and captured before he had time to re-

year.
