Description

In the minds of many of us, Virginia is the Civil War, it’s the state most closely associated with Conferderate luminaries Lee, Jackson, Stuart, and Mosby and Union leaders Grant, Sheridan, Burnside, McClellan, and Pope. But when Virginia’s general assembly voted the state out of the Union, citizens west of the Shenandoah Valley voted themselves out of Virginia, creating the Union state of West Virginia. Touring Virginia’s and West Virginia’s Civil War Sites covers the entire significant sites in both states.

The 17 tours consult with large and small battlefields, cemetaries, monuments and statues, rivers, and mountains, even as sharing the histories in the back of each and every location, some surprising and difficult to understand.

This recent edition includes up to date directions, new photographs for each and every site, and several new sites–including the Museum of the Civil War Soldier in Petersburg, the American Center for the Civil War in Richmond, and the grave of the designer of the Confederate battle flag, William Porcher Miles, in Union, West Virginia.
