An undeniably consequential series of events, the campaign and its numerous engagements have nonetheless failed to attract the level of scholarly interest their importance should demand. Not until Jeffry Wert’s 1987 study, From Winchester to Cedar Creek, did the campaign garner proper attention. Since the early 2000s a new interest in General Philip Sheridan, thanks to the writing of Eric Wittenberg and others, and the renewed attention of popular historian Gary W. Gallagher, the pivotal roles that Sheridan and his victories in the valley played in the ultimate success of the Federal armies are finally being recognized. Scott C.

  • Joseph Ware and His Journal: an Historical Treasure
    JOSEPH WARE AND HIS JOURNAL: AN HISTORICAL TREASURE By Stephen Darley The original Joseph Ware journal is an important record of the 1775 expedition to take Quebec led by Col. Benedict Arnold. The Ware journal was one of four collaborative journals from the Captain Samuel Ward Company that are virtually identical in their entries.1 The four collaborative journals contain a very important piece of evidence regarding the attack on Quebec on the night of December 31, 1775, which is a listing of the men who were wounded, killed or taken prisoner from each company in the assault. This list is only found in the collaborative journals and is critical in determining what happened to the men in each of the companies that participated in the assault. The original manuscript of the Ware journal is located in the manuscript collections of the New England Historic Genealogical Society.2 It is a rare and significant manuscript document. Unfortunately, the journal is not in good condition with only half of the first two pages still present and the entire journal being ripped in half. Its condition is so endangered that in order to preserve it from further deterioration the Society no longer allows it to be examined or read. The Library of Congress has a handwritten copy of the Ware journal on microfilm, copied by Peter Force, located in the Peter Force Papers.3 Because the journal is an important record of the expedition to Quebec, it is important to understand who the author was and what we know about his life.
