Présentation de l'éditeur

General Grant consolidated Union forces in the Shenandoah Valley and placed them under the abolitionist general, David Hunter. Hatred of the South clouded ""Black Dave's"" military judgment and he often rejected the advice of his generals in order to pursue his own agendas. Burning, looting, and meaningless destruction were commonplace during the reign of this sinister general's anger. A self-appointed avenger, he wantonly killed civilians without provocation, reaping his own brand of punishment on many towns. Battle locations such as Winchester, Covington, Lexington, Lynchburg, Salem, and New Castle were only some of the unfortunate recipients of his rage.
