Three years had passed since Abraham Lincoln had been inaugurated to the presidency of the United States. It appeared the tide of the war was shifting – but only beginning to shift. Many in the Confederacy were not at a point of giving up in early 1864. It would take additional Union military victories to bring an end to the conflict. Lincoln called upon Ulysses Simpson Grant, making him General-in-chief of all Union armies on March 9, 1864, to help bring about that final victory. Grant settled on a plan of “coordination”, that is, moving all Union armies against Confederate forces at the same time. The campaign was to begin as near the beginning of May as conditions allowed. The Army of the James was to advance up the Virginia peninsula between the York and James Rivers. The Army of the Potomac was to advance overland, pushing the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia toward Richmond. The army group assembled around Chattanooga was to have the Confederate Army of Tennessee and the city of Atlanta as its objectives. The Army of the Gulf was to capture Mobile, Alabama though part of this force was engaged in the Red River Campaign, and the campaign for that city would be delayed.

The bibliography and guide are aimed primarily at historians and Civil War buffs. Because of the large number of books on the Civil War being published, only the military history of the War and topics directly related to military history are covered. The 12 reference works that are annotated include bibliographies, dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, and biographical sketches. The 40 topical studies covered focus on campaigns, battles, and the military life. Book annotations are both descriptive and evaluative. The bibliography also includes 10 dissertations on the military history of the war. Seven periodicals which serve Civil War historians and buffs are briefly described, and six online bibliographic databases are given descriptive annotations. The guide concludes with descriptions of 10 organizations that sponsor or encourage research, educational, or historical activities relating to the Civil War. The paper includes an author and title index of annotated materials. (Contains 21 references.)

    Follow in Lincoln's Footsteps in Virginia

    FOLLOW IN LINCOLN’S FOOTSTEPS IN VIRGINIA A 5 Day tour of Virginia that follows in Lincoln’s footsteps as he traveled through Central Virginia. Day One • Begin your journey at the Winchester-Frederick County Visitor Center housing the Civil War Orientation Center for the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District. Become familiar with the onsite interpretations that walk visitors through the stages of the local battles. • Travel to Stonewall Jackson’s Headquarters. Located in a quiet residential area, this Victorian house is where Jackson spent the winter of 1861-62 and planned his famous Valley Campaign. • Enjoy lunch at The Wayside Inn – serving travelers since 1797, meals are served in eight antique filled rooms and feature authentic Colonial favorites. During the Civil War, soldiers from both the North and South frequented the Wayside Inn in search of refuge and friendship. Serving both sides in this devastating conflict, the Inn offered comfort to all who came and thus was spared the ravages of the war, even though Stonewall Jackson’s famous Valley Campaign swept past only a few miles away. • Tour Belle Grove Plantation. Civil War activity here culminated in the Battle of Cedar Creek on October 19, 1864 when Gen. Sheridan’s counterattack ended the Valley Campaign in favor of the Northern forces. The mansion served as Union headquarters. • Continue to Lexington where we’ll overnight and enjoy dinner in a local restaurant. Day Two • Meet our guide in Lexington and tour the Virginia Military Institute (VMI). The VMI Museum presents a history of the Institute and the nation as told through the lives and services of VMI Alumni and faculty.

  • Timeline 1864

    Timeline 1864

    CIVIL WAR TIMELINE 1864 January Radical Republicans are hostile to Lincoln’s policies, fearing that they do not provide sufficient protection for ex-slaves, that the 10% amnesty plan is not strict enough, and that Southern states should demonstrate more significant efforts to eradicate the slave system before being allowed back into the Union. Consequently, Congress refuses to recognize the governments of Southern states, or to seat their elected representatives. Instead, legislators begin to work on their own Reconstruction plan, which will emerge in July as the Wade-Davis Bill. [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/reconstruction/states/sf_timeline.html] [http://www.blackhistory.harpweek.com/4Reconstruction/ReconTimeline.htm] Congress now understands the Confederacy to be the face of a deeply rooted cultural system antagonistic to the principles of a “free labor” society. Many fear that returning home rule to such a system amounts to accepting secession state by state and opening the door for such malicious local legislation as the Black Codes that eventually emerge.

    HISTORY of HANCOCK COUNTY • Virginia and West Virginia o Sacramento Branch Genealogical Library BY JACK WELCH FIRST PRINTING © Copyright, 1963, by Jack Welch All rights reserved under International and Pan-American Copyright Conventions. Published in Wheeling, West Virginia, by The Wheeling News Printing & Litho Co. orewor* The physical features of Hancock County can be described quickly and easily. It is the northernmost county in West Virginia, bounded on the north and west by the Ohio River, on the east by Pennsylvania, and on the south by Brooke County. It is the smallest county in West Virginia with 88.55 square miles. It has three muni­ cipalities (Chester, New Cumberland, Weirton), three magisterial districts (Butler, Clay, Grant), and 37 voting precincts. Its agri­ cultural and industrial products include iron, steel, chinaware, pottery, bricks, fire clay, sheet metal, tin products, apples, dairy foods, and livestock. Hancock County, like any other inhabited area of the world, is more than a tiny block of land furnishing a livelihood for several thousands of people. It is a land that is built upon the labor, the ideals, the lives, and the deaths of those who have gone before. It is a forest turned into a farm, a farm turned into a town, and a town turned into an industrial site employing thousands of people. It is a man chopping a tree in a virgin forest, it is a woman taking up a "fie to protect her family from Indians, it is a man building a school, it is a man building a factory. All these things are Hancock County, as much of a reality as the topographical and statistical elements.

On Thursday, April 8th GeoModel, a company from Leesburg, Virginia specializing in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), was hired by the KBA Board of Dirctors to survey our cemetery to help us deter- mine the number and exact location of the graves. Matt Turner from GeoModel laid out a grid around the existing cemetery and surveyed the entire area. He located 14 gravesites, Pushing his GPR equipment, Matt Turner of GeoModel all located fairly close together, laid east to west. While we have some idea who is buried surveys the Pritchard cemetery. Susan Baldwin’s head- stone stands in the foreground. in the cemetery we will never know who is buried in which grave. However, now when we give tours we can say with certainty that there are at least 14 graves on the hillside. In addition to the one headstone, marked as the grave of Susan (Pritchard) Baldwin, records show the following individuals are also buried on the hill: Susan’s grandfather, Reese Pritchard Jr. (1710 – 1760); her father, Stephen Pritchard I (1745 – 1819); her brother, Stephen Pritchard II (1776 – 1858); and her sister, Margaret (1772 – 1819).
