Synopsis

The Battle of New Market: May 15, 1864 presents a vivid, primary-source history of the day’s Idaho-like clash in Virginia, with letters, orders, and rosters that bring the battle to life for readers today. The book weaves together official communications, cadet records, and eyewitness accounts to illuminate how a single engagement shaped the course of the Valley campaign.

- A clear, battle-by-battle account that grounds the action in the broader Confederate and Union movements.
- Direct excerpts from letters and official reports that show decisions from leaders like Breckinridge and Lee, and the role of the Virginia Military Institute’s Corps of Cadets.
- Detailed rosters, casualty lists, and recognitions that humanize the soldiers and cadets who fought.
- Context on the strategic priorities in the Shenandoah Valley and how the day’s events influenced subsequent operations.

Ideal for readers of Civil War history, military biography, and Virginia history who want a grounded, documentary perspective on this pivotal 1864 clash.
