Next Mt Jackson in The War Between the State provided by the Mt Jackson Chamber of Commerce, the Town of Mt Jackson and the Captain Jack Adams Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans Union Church, used as hospital and prison If this Valley is lost, Virginia is lost," said General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, before leading his Confederate troops through the series of brilliant victories known to history as Jackson's Shenandoah Valley Campaign. But Jackson's incredible marches are only a part of Virginia's Civil War legacy - by far the richest of any state. Today's visitor, can trace not only the footsteps of "Stonewall", but also those of Phil Sheridan, "Ole Jube" Early, the infamous Custer, and the hundreds of thousands of other soldiers and civilians along many of the same routes they used 140 years ago. Few towns in the Valley are more closely connected with the Civil War in the Shenandoah Valley than the small town of Mt Jackson.

64. A Short History Of Preston Describes important local dates, events and people, including 'Hard Times' plagues, final battle of the civil war, Richard Arkwright, John Horrocks, Preston Guild, first motorway, and football. http://www.webspawner.com/users/thehughlockspage/

A Short History of Preston Here on this page I want to give you some history about the city where I was born, Preston, Lancashire, England. Preston became a 'city' on March 14 2002 when HRH Queen Elizabeth II granted Preston cityhood for her Jubilee celebration, 1952-2002. Preston became the 50th 'city' in England on that day. Preston is a busy market town situated in the north west of England, it forms a triangle with Liverpool, and Manchester, each being about 30 miles apart, Preston being the apex of the triangle to the north. The town is situated on a rise overlooking the Ribble valley, with the River Ribble almost circling the town. Archaeological evidence found along the River Ribble, suggests that there were settlers in the area as long ago as 8,000 B.C. Very little is known about early Preston, but it is probable that the 'church' acted as the nucleus of the towns beginings. One theory says that Preston was formed by monks from the famous monastery at Ripon in Yorkshire, after St. Wilfred aquired the lands 'juxta Rippel' ( by the Ribble) in about A.D. 670. This would explain how Preston got its name: it is derived from the words 'tun (i.e. town) of the priests'. PriestTown (Preston) There are many theories, this is but one. During the 'middle ages' Preston saw some very 'hard times', (Charles Dickens based his best seller, 'Hard Times' on life in Preston) local wars, poverty, and illness took a very hard toll on the people. From 1314 to 1316 three harvests in a row failed, many people died of starvation. For years the town stuggled to recover, then in 1348 a terrible outbreak of bubonic plague which had already ravaged the European continent spread through England. In Preston at least one third of the entire population-men, women and children- died of plague, mostly during the summer months. There were recurrences of plague in 1361-62, 1369, and a very serious outbreak some years later..1630-31.

PROGRAM FEATURES PROGRAM FACULTY PROGRAM LOCATION SCHEDULE ... PROGRAM PHOTOS Join Gary Gallagher and an exceptional group of colleagues for four and one-half days of lectures, extensive walking-tours, and lively discussions focused on one of the most compelling military episodes of the Civil War – the 1864 Shenandoah Valley Campaign. The 1864 campaign in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia combined elements of high drama and substantial military and political consequence. It was critical to the North, especially to the Federal army trying to take Richmond, that the South be deprived of the important strategic and agricultural assets of the Valley. As Bruce Catton wrote, “A garden spot was to be turned into a desert in order that the Southern nation might be destroyed.” A victory in the Valley was also crucial to Northern Republicans as a means of countering both war weariness and the Democrats’ contention that the war was a failure. With the stakes high, a campaign to take control of the Valley began.

Timeline: February 12th, 1809 Born in Hardin County Kentucky 1816 - Moved to Indiana 1818 - Went to New Orleans 1818 -Sister died in Childbirth 1830 - Moved to Illinois 1831 - Left for New Salem 1832 - Served inthe Black Hawk War 1832 - Ran for legislature (failed) 1834 - Elected to the Lower house for four terms 1837 - Became a lawyer 1842 - Married Mary Todd Lincoln 1860 -Won presidential nomination and presidency Early Life Lincoln was born on Feb. 12, 1809, in a log cabin in Hardin (now Larue) County, Ky. Indians had killed his grandfather, Lincoln wrote, "when he was laboring to open a farm in the forest" in 1786; this tragedy left his father, Thomas Lincoln, "a wandering laboring boy" who "grew up, literally without education." Thomas, nevertheless, became a skilled carpenter and purchased three farms in Kentucky before the Lincolns left the state. Little is known about Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. Abraham had an older sister, Sarah, and a younger brother, Thomas, who died in infancy. In 1816 the Lincolns moved to Indiana, "partly on account of slavery," Abraham recalled, "but chiefly on account of difficulty in land titles in Kentucky." Land ownership was more secure in Indiana because the Land Ordinance of 1785 provided for surveys by the federal government; moreover, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 forbade slavery in the area. Lincoln's parents belonged to a faction of the Baptist church that disapproved of slavery, and this affiliation may account for Abraham's later statement that he was "naturally anti-slavery" and could not remember when he "did not so think, and feel."

71. Ulysses S. Grant Short biographical sketch focuses on Grant's role during the civil war. http://library.thinkquest.org/3055/netscape/people/grant.html

About Grant Ulysses S. Grant was born in Point Pleasant Ohio, on April 27th, 1822 to a modest middle class family. His father worked as a tanner, thus he developed a proficiency in the handling of equestrians, which was one of his only mertiable traits during his appointment to West Point. He graduated in 1843 ranking 21st out of 39 graduating students. Grant then served in the Mexican War. Although he served effectively with Zachary Taylor's army at Monterey and with Winfeild Scott's army in the campaign for Mexico city, where he won two brevets for meritorious conduct, he detested the war. Grant once said of the Mexican war, "one of the most unjust ever waged on a weaker country by a stronger." After the war, Grant married Julia Dent, the daughter of a rich plantation owner in Missouri, on August 22, 1848. Grant was initially assigned to garrison duty in the central northeast United States in the Great Lakes region. He was transferred to the Pacific Northwest where he has unable to have his family with him. In 1854 he resigned from the military after rumors of drink clouded his name. He returned to the east only to fail in one business venture after another. In the April of 1861, Grant was clerking in his brothers leather shop, in Galena Illinois. Despite any of his acquaintances at West Point, he was unable to obtain a position on General

Next The Civil War The American Civil War began on April 12, 1861 and ended on April 9, 1865. The Civil War started for many different reasons. One of the larger ones, however, was that abolitionists (people completely against slavery that felt it should be stopped immediately) were on the rise in the North. The majority of the North felt it should be stopped while the majority of the South wanted to preserve their way of life. This (and some other reasons) created tension and led to the Confederacy's attack of Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861. The majority of the Southern states seceded from the Union and formed their own government called the Confederacy. Many lives were lost during the war. One in every fifty Americans died. Both sides were strong and put up an amazing fight. Soon what was left of the Confederacy (led by General Robert E. Lee) surrendered to the North at Appomattox Court House, Virginia.

The death toll rose to 98 yesterday, making it one the deadliest attacks yet.

76. Whitman's Wartime Washington Yet by the end of the civil war there were approximately fifty hospitals As he told a friend many years after the war, people used to say to me Walt, http://xroads.virginia.edu/~CAP/hospital/whitman.htm

Whitman's Drum Taps and Washington's Civil War Hospitals By: Angel Price Walt Whitman 1848 Campbell Hospital Armory Hospital Before the war began, Washington was a relatively rural town with limited medical accommodations. There were no military hospitals and very few medical facilities. Yet by the end of the Civil War there were approximately fifty hospitals marking the Washington landscape. Their beginnings were in the tents of regiments of soldiers. The regulations provided that there be a hospital tent in proportion to the number of men within each regiment. Whitman writes one of the most accurate descriptions of field hospitals in a letter to his mother in 1864: Soldiers were kept in the field hospitals indefinitely and often sent on to Washington after their conditions had so worsened as to make surviving the trip almost impossible. When the regimental tent was full, a nearby home or building was usually commandeered and converted for medical care. Although intended as temporary units, these regimental tents and field hospitals were soon clustered together to make larger accommodations of hospital camps that eventually spotted the city.8

For extension, link to this Civil War site and The Civil War for Kids for more interactive learning. A civil war is a war between different groups of people who belong to the same country. The American Civil War was fought between the North (Union states) and the South (Confederate states). It lasted from 1861-1865, triggered by the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. Lincoln wanted to end slavery and keep the Union together. The conflict between the North (the Yankees) and the South (the Rebels) started because of their different ways of living. The North wanted the South to give up their farms, build factories, and abolish slavery. Congress treated the slaves as personal property and would not take away rights of ownership. Thus, America began the conflict that would take the lives of more than 620,000 of its citizens and injure more than 375,000. Most of the battles took place in the South and the recovery from the destruction took many years. This site is intended to help fifth graders better understand t
