THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY.

The Shenandoah Valley had been a thorn
in the side of the North all through the
war up to this time. Trending toward the
northeast, ii was a protected highway
leading into the very heart of Pennsylvania
and the rear of Washington. Lying in the
westerly shadow of the towering rampant
of the Blue Ridge. with it's extension, North
Mountain. on the northern side of the Po-
tomac. and a bountiful source of food
supplies. it had been the scene of many
a Confederate raid by Jackson and Lee.
Through one Of the several gaps which
pierced the wall at convenient intervals
Thomas J. Jackson had brought the troops
which did so much TO turn the scale al the
first battle Of Bull Run in favor Of the
Confederates. Up through that valley Lee
on more than one occasion led his troops,
Antictam and Gettysburg being the turn
ing points of two Of these raids. Now, in
the midsummer of 1864, while Grant was
hammering away at Petersburg, following
the Wilderness campaign, Lee was to de-
monstrate once again, through General Ju-
bal \. Early that the Confederacy was still
far from being beaten by making use of
this same valley to humiliate the North
by threatening Washington more seriously
than had ever been done before.
one of the moves which were TO be made
simultaneously on May (, as a part of the
movement all along the line" was that of
the army I'm the Shenandoah under General

himself of the fortifcations of Lynchburg'
but Lee said NO for he esteemed those
works highly. II was Early whom he sent
hurriedly with achievements to protect
that fortress in a weary land. Hunter
found himself unable to accomplish any
thing. and he retired by way of the ka-
nawha. leaving the favorite raiding ground
OF the Confederates open. Early immedi-
ately demonstrated that his name was not
inappropriate. He proved that he was to
be classed with those feathered bipeds
which make trouble for such misguided
worms as have adopted Poor Richard $

health and wisdom.
