"Then Sheridan's time was come." The Battle of Cedar Creek, Virginia, 19 October 1864:

19 October 1864: "A cavalry charge was ordered against right and left flank of the enemy, and then a grand advance of the three infantry corps from left to right on the Enemy’s centre [sic]. ‘On through Middletown,’ says the correspondent above quoted, ‘and beyond, the enemy hurried, and the Army of the Shenandoah pursued. The roar of musketry now had a gleeful, dancing sound. The guns fired shafted salutes of victory. Custer and Merritt, charging in on right and left, doubled up the flanks of the foe, taking prisoners, slashing, killing, driving as they went. The march of the infantry was more majestic and more terrible. The lines of the foe swayed and broke before it every where [sic]. Beyond Middletown, on the battle-field fought over in the morning, their columns were completely overthrown and disorganized [sic]. They fled along the pike and over the fields like sheep.’"

Jackson's Foot Cavalry

Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was a formidable opponent and one of the best generals in the American Civil War. His presence on the battlefield was disruptive, and he could make a larger enemy force scatter in confusion. However, it was more than just his understanding of battlefield tactics that won victories. The troops under Jackson’s command had the nickname “Foot Cavalry,” and those soldiers…

Happy Caturday from Winchester Virginia!

Yep, we did it. We moved and left Texas behind. I dropped off lots of cats and owls to be fired at a nearby ceramic shop. We'll start officially house hunting in about a week and then I'll be able to set up my own kiln again. This part of the country is so beautiful!
