The Civil War historian recounts a significant yet smaller battle in the Shenandoah Valley-showing how it changed the war and the lives of those present.

The outcome altered campaign plans across the North and South, while the bloody battle changed the lives of those who witnessed or fought it.
In the spring of 1864, Union Maj. Gen. Franz Sigel prepared to lead a new invasion into the Valley. Confederate Maj. Gen. John C. Breckinridge scrambled to organize a defense. Young cadets from the Virginia Military Institute were called to the battle lines just days after leaving their studies.When the opposing divisions clashed on May 15th, 1864, local civilians watched as the combat unfold in their streets and churchyards and aided the fallen.
