Running From Stonewall Jackson: The Shenandoah Valley Campaign 1862
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- On May 10th of 1862, Stonewall Jackson began to pursue Union forces under General Milroy and General Schenk, north to Franklin West Virginia (Virginia at the time), after his victory at the Battle of McDowell.
A lot of drama would unfold in this valley over the three days that the Union Army would run from Jackson. Citizens and Union soldiers would come under attack from Confederate Guerillas, operating out of the area caves.
I stay the week on an old farm just south of Jackson's Headquarters as I locate key locations related to this pursuit and I explore the way of life of current residents, in an area that has changed little since armies past through these mountains.

my hands and feet are sweating watching this!! I really appreciate people who aren't afraid of heights!
It was a sketchy climb that's for sure.
Great video and interesting history! Also really nice rental property. I like the VLOG format.
This was really good. I felt like I was watching a documentary on history channel or discovery. You packed so many facts and interesting information in here. Excellent job. I liked and subscribed. 👍
Thank you Craig. I subbed to you also.
Me too. I have been a reenactor for 35 years. Artillery, both CS and US impressions. My g-grandfather was 13 when he rode with the 27th VA. Partisan Rangers at Chickamauga. His older brothers were with the 37th with Jackson. One of them died in the Valley Campaign. Family history has it that after 2nd Manassass, the remaining brothers in the 37th, went home, stole a couple of horses, and promptly joined the 22nd VA. Cavalry, with whom they served for the rest of the war. Amazing how those guys managed.
Oh wow. Pretty cool your a reenactor. My 3x Great-Uncle was with the 4th Regiment PA Volunteers in Antietam. My 3x Great-Grandfather was with an "Emergency," unit stationed at Fort Washington to protect Harrisburg, shortly before the battle of Gettysburg. I speculate often that if Jackson was alive instead of Ewell when the Confederates approached Harrisburg, my 3x Great-Grandfather might not have survived the attack and therefore I would not be alive lol.
"sketchiest" and "I'm goin' for it"... yup, I feel that on just about every location I physically visit. Great video... I learned some new stuff.
Yeah, you and I need to start carrying grappling hooks. Thanks Scott.
@@runningintohistory I have my step sons basic kit... and it ways about 30lbs... along with my base gear that would be nearly a full Ruck Sack... NOT going to happen. LMAO I will depend on my "spidey" fingers and lack of poor judgement, TYVM.
@@ODDySEEy lol yeah that's the problem the weight. But I haven't had one since my ninja days so now I want another one.
Very nice sharing keep safe always thank you ✌💘⛱⛱
Great video. My ancestors marched with Jackson in the Shenandoah in Co. I, 37th Virginia Volunteer Infantry commanded by Col. Samuel Fulkerson.
Thank you. Pretty cool your ancestors were with Jackson. His Shenandoah Valley Campaign always fascinated me.
Very interesting story! And me watching you climbing cliffs with a camera will possibly lead me to a premature death by heart attack.
Haha yeah that cliff was interesting. I almost bailed. Jan tried to talk me out of it as you probably heard.
Great video as usual. I love Civil War stuff. I live very close to the Kenesaw Mountain Battlefield. You would love doing a video here.
Thank you Anthony. I have been wanting to get down to Kenesaw for a while.
Jackson was a military genius.
If Jackson were fighting in the Green Mountains or the White Mountains in New England, having NO knowledge of the territory with three diffe rent commands -a third the size of his- where he is not making all the decisions, how would he have done then?
Sorry he had every single advantage. How much “genius” does that take?
I live in Staunton, his headquarters. And I went to c
Schooled in Vermont. I know both sets of mountains.
I still think he would have done well in the white mountains. He relied on experts. Even in the Shenandoah Valley, it was his map maker from Pennsylvania that gave him the edge there.
My dad is moving to West Virginia. I have to take a day trip to the caves when I visit him.
Definitely check them out. I really like West Virginia.
