Valley of the Shadow Cover Image Book Book

Valley of the Shadow / Ralph Peters ; maps by George Skoch.

Peters, Ralph, 1952- (author.). Skoch, George, (cartographer.).

Summary:

In the Valley of the Shadow, they wrote their names in blood. From a daring Confederate raid that nearly seized Washington, D.C., to a stunning reversal on the bloody fields of Cedar Creek, the summer and autumn of 1864 witnessed some of the fiercest fighting of our Civil War--in mighty battles now all but forgotten.... From hungry, hard-bitten Rebel privates to a pair of Union officers destined to become presidents, from a neglected hero who saved our nation's capital and went on to write one of his century's greatest novels to doomed Confederate leaders of incomparable valor, this book brings to life yesteryear's giants and their breathtaking battles.
