  • The True Story of a Civil War Battle Fought Nearly 150 Years Ago in New Market Will Come Alive in Movie Theaters Nationwide Later This Year
    NEW MARKET — The true story of a Civil War battle fought nearly 150 years ago in New Market will come alive in movie theaters nationwide later this year. The story is about seven teenage cadets from Virginia Military Institute who decide to put their lives on the line in the May 15, 1864, battle, said the film’s director, Sean McNamara. The movie, “Field of Lost Shoes,” was filmed last year in late spring and early summer in Virginia. It has been in postproduction in Los Angeles since, and should be finished this week, said co-producer and co-writer Tom Farrell. Filming took place over the course of 5½ weeks, including at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Westover Plantation outside Richmond, and an old prison near the James River between Goochland and Powhatan counties. The cast and crew spent a week at VMI for filming, including in the barracks and on post in general, as well as at an old house as a stand-in for a home in New Market, said Stewart MacInnis, spokesman for the Virginia Military Institute. “What the cadets did in 1864 in New Market is really central to the VMI heritage that we teach cadets today. We are thrilled to have a movie in production and soon to be released that tells that story,” he said. “Field of Lost Shoes” is likely to premier in Richmond in the spring, and a wide release is anticipated in theaters this fall, but the dates and venues are not final. Farrell, who wrote and produced the film with Dave Kennedy, said many Valley residents may know that VMI cadets fought in the Battle of New Market, but most probably don’t know much more than that.

  • The Battle of New Market Reenactment: the Tradition Continues: 1914-2020
    The Battle of New Market Reenactment: The Tradition Continues: 1914-2020 By Lt. Colonel Troy D. Marshall Site Director, Virginia Museum of the Civil War Staunton, Va., May 10, 1864 Maj. Gen. F. H. Smith, Supt. VMI: Sigel is moving up the Valley--was at Strasburg last night. I cannot tell you whether this is his destination. I would be glad to have your assistance at once with the cadets and the section of artillery. Bring all the forage and rations you can . Yours respectfully, John C. Breckinridge, Major General. With these few words, the Virginia Military Institute and the Battle of New Market are irrevocably linked. That spring of 1864 the stakes were higher than they had ever been and so were the expectations; not like previous years when the classroom monotony was occasionally broken up by an up-country march after Union cavalry. But still, youthful bravado reigned supreme at V.M.I. and many saw the barracks as less than glorious. Major General Breckinridge required their battalion to bolster his understrength force of only about 5,000 men. His opponent, Major General Franz Sigel, and his seemingly limitless force of almost 9,000 men were heading south--up the valley. The cadets joined Breckinridge’s army in Staunton, where seasoned veterans greeted the schoolboys with jeers and suspicion while the young ladies of the local female Seminary greeted them with smiles and a grand ball. Cadets danced on tired and blistered feet, little thinking that battle and death loomed only a few days in their future. In the early morning hours of May 15, 1864, Colonel Scott Shipp’s battalion of cadets lumbered groggily towards the small hamlet of New Market.
