Jubal A. Early's disastrous battles in the Shenandoah Valley
ultimately resulted in his ignominious dismissal. But Early's
lesser-known summer campaign of 1864, between his raid on
Washington and Phil Sheridan's renowned fall campaign, had a
significant impact on the political and military landscape of the
time. By focusing on military tactics and battle history, Scott C.
Patchan uncovers the facts and actions of these little-understood
battles and offers a new perspective on Early's contributions to
the Confederate war effort-and to Union battle plans and
politicking. Patchan details previously unexplored battles at
Rutherford's Farm and Kernstown (a pinnacle of Confederate
operations in the Shenandoah Valley). He examines the campaign's
influence on President Lincoln's reelection efforts and provides
insights into the personalities, careers, and roles in Shenandoah
of Confederate General John C. Breckinridge, Union General George
Crook, and Union Colonel James A. Mulligan, with his "fighting
Irish" brigade from Chicago. Finally, Patchan reconsiders the
ever-colorful and controversial Early himself, whose importance in
the Confederate military pantheon this book at last makes clear.
