Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1914-07-24

BY Capt GEORGE L. KILf1ER. Late U. 5 v.
last important Confederate
invasion Of the north was In
July. 1864, fifty years ago.
After the withdrawal Of Lees
army from the Shenandoah valley on
the retreat from Gettysburg In 1868.
the region known as the Valley Of the
Virginia was controlled by a small
Confederate force under command Of
General j. ID. Imboden. Imboden was
a valley man, and he had served there
as a soldier since the war began. His
immediate command in the spring Of
1864, when General Grant started the
Federal armies on the campaign
against Richmond. was a brigade of
cavalry and one battery of horse artil-
lery. This force was composed of Vir-
ginians principally. although there
were two battalions Of Maryland horse
men, one led by the noted Major Harry
Gilmor of Baltimore.
Imboden's troopers were in harness
all the time. but he had a reserve, con

little force. was marching upon Staun-
ton in conjunction with Crooks move
ment below LynchSurg.
On May o. the same day that Crook,
Averell. McCausland and Jones fought
in southwestern Virginia. Sigel march
ed from Winchester with General J. @.
Sullivan's division of infantry and Cen
eral j. II. Stnhel's cavalry and pushed
on through the main valley to Stras-
burg and Woodstock. Imboden was at
Staunton. but every house was a signal
station for him. and. learning Of Sigel's
advance. he telegraphed TO General Lee
to hurry forward Breckenridge to his
aid. Imboden's rangers managed to de-
stroy completely two Thinking detach-
ments of cavalry sent out by Sigel on
his right and left to ward off surprises.
Sigel Checked at New Market.
On May 10 Breckenridge and limbo
den defeated Sigel at New Market and
sent him back down the valley. Grant
appointed General David Hunter to
succeed him. The forces of Breckin-

ridge and Sigel at New Market had
been about equal and were about 5000
on a side. Hunter brought up re-en-
forcements, making his force about
5000. Meanwhile the Confederates re-
tired rapidly toward Lynchburg. Hun
ter was joined by Crook and Averell at
Staunton on June 8, and the forces
now amounted to $4,000 men. On the
10th the combined army moved on
Lynchburg. AT the same time General
Jubal A. Early. who commanded at this
time the old Ewell corps formerly
'Stonewall" J%ackson's) in Lees army
at Richmond, was ordered to move on
Lynchburg against Hunter.
Hunter occupied Lexington and, as
he claimed, he found a proclamation
from Governor .Letcher melting the
populace to guerrilla warfare. He burn
ed Letcher's residence and also the Vir-
ginia Military institute. Instead of
moving promptly upon Lynchburg,
Hunter DELAYED some time Mt Lexing-
ton, getting up supplies and re-enforce-
ments. When he moved finally be
found all the passes eastward occupied
by Imboden. McCausland and Breckin-
ridge. The presence of so many oppo-
nents forced Hunter to move up on
the west side of the Blue Ridge.
On the 18th he pushed Crook and Ay-
erell's commands against the outer in
~trenchments of Lynchbnrg. but half of
Early's corps had arrived, and the oc-
cupants of the place were jubilant at
the turn of affairs. On the 18th Hunter
closed in on the west, and his men
made and received some sharp attacks.
but at night he withdrew his whole
army west of the Allegheny mountains
into West Virginia and moved north on
what was called the Kanawha route.
The Shenandoah valley was now com
pletely free Of Federals excepting a
small force under Sigel, the reserve Of
Hunters army. at M~artinsburg, only
ten miles from the Potomac. on the
Maryland border.

sisting of militia, that was subject to
his orders. and also a corps Of cadets
at the Virginia Military institute at
Lexington. at the head of the valley.
Grant placed General Franz Sigel in
command of the Federal department of
West Virginia, which included the
Shenandoah valley district. A portion
Of Sigel's force was in West Virginia
under command of General George
Crook. This consisted of two brigades
of cavalry under General w. w. Av-
erell and three brigades of infantry I'M
der Crooks immediate command. A
part of Grants plan was that Sigel
should move against Lynchburg, Va,
and threaten 1t ON all sides, while the
great army, led by him, should make
the overland campaign to Richmond.
The great southwestern feeder Of the
armies In Virginia was the Virginia
and Tennessee railroad. running from
Lynchburg, between the Allegheny and
Blue Ridge mountains. to Knoxville.
Crook was to come from West Virginia,
strike this road south of Lynchburg
and destroy the track and salt works.
TE
Move Against Lynchburg.
While this was taking place Sigel
was to move up the valley, Selling
Staunton, where there was a branch Of
the Virginia Central railroad. Between
May / and 2 Crook and Averell. in two
columns, made a circuit, fought sew
eral hard battles and burned q railroad
bridge on New river that cut the com
~munications between Lynchburg and
Knoxville.
The movement was met by the C0nfed-
crate cavalry under General j. Fl. Nor
gan and a force under General w. r..
Jones, aided by General John McCaus-
lands cavalry. Jones and McCausland
had been lying in the region of south
ern West Virginia for months watch
ing Crook. Morgan had three brigades
In eastern Kentucky. and. learning of
the movement against the East Ten
nessee railroad. he sent a brigade. I'M
der General d. II. Smith to combat
Averell. Averell, it appears, had been
charged by Crook to keep well to the
west of the general line of march and
guard him from a surprise by Morgan.
Averell kept Morgan away from
Crooks column and enabled Crook to
destroy the bridge, but Ayerell him
self failed to reach the salt works.
However. all of this alarmed Lee
about the safety of Lynchburg, and a
division of troops under General John
G. Breckenridge that was or its way
from the mountain district to e-en

move north. Early's force was said to
be 10000 strong, and, although strict
orders were issued by Early against
~pillaging. the people refused to be COM
forted. and in a few days the whole
state and the borders of their northern
neighbors were in a condition of panic.
Early's movement had been made
with such rapidity that even the au-
thorities at Washington had no fore
warning. The president called out the
militia of Pennsylvania, New York and
Massachusetts for 100 days as soon as
Early crossed into Maryland, General
Hunter made haste up the Kanawha

valley, hoping to head off Early, and
he called upon General Grant. who was
with the army at Petersburg. to take
steps to guard against an invasion Of
Maryland. But reports had been cir
culated at Petersburg in Confederate
circles that Early was once more with
Lee. Grant telegraphed to Hunter that
Early's corps had returned to Peters
burg. After three days of correspond
n c Grant. on the 9th of July, order

Early's advance. During his absence
the burden devoIved upon General Lew
Wallace. a district commander located
1T Baltimore. With an Inadequate force
he set out for western Maryland.
