NPS Fm 1- OM6 No. 100244018 (-) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Civil War Era National Cemeteries Continuation Sheet Winchester National Cemetery Section number 7 Page 1 City of Winchester, Virginia NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION The Winchester National Cemetery is located at 401 National Avenue, Winchester, Virginia, about 114 mile east of Winchester City Hall. The cemetery is rectangular in shape and is enclosed by a limestone wall, 4 feet 6 inches high, 18 inches thick, and extending 1,879 lineal feet. The main entrance is situated in the center of the north side and is protected by 12-foot-wide entry gates, constructed circa 1910, made of ornamental wrought and cast iron. The main gates are supported by cast iron piers. There is a 4-foot-wide walk gate on each side, supported by concrete piers. A 14-foot-wide cast iron rear access gate to Woodstock Lane, with stone piers on each side, was constructed in July 1940. The cemetery was established on April 9, 1866, and contains 91 burial sections. The sections are numbered from 1 through 92 and, for reasons unknown, there is no section 5. The burial sections were originally named after various states, as far as practicable, and the interments were made in the same manner. The graves were originally marked by headboards, painted white and properly lettered. The boards were later replaced with upright marble markers. As of August 31, 1995, there were 5,056 graves used for the interment of 5,370 casketed remains and 74 sites used for the interment of 94 cremated remains. The cemetery was officially closed on July 11, 1969. Interments in occupied graves, as well as interments of cremated remains, continue. As of August 31, 1995, there were 27 gravesites available for the interment of casketed remains (26 reserved) and 37 sites available for the interment of cremated remains. The lodge was originally constructed in 1871 and consisted of a one-story stone building of three rooms Although this lodge was based on a design by Quartermaster General Montgomery C. Meigs, it was a smaller version than the standard lodge design by Meigs for national cemeteries during that era. A one-story frame wing containing a kitchen was added around the turn of the century. The windows on the first floor are six-over-one double-hung. About 1914, a second-story frame addition containing three bedrooms and one bath was constructed over the stone part of the house. The windows on this story are in pairs, four-over-one double- hung. The roof appears to be made of asbestos cement shingles with ridge rolls. The old kitchen was removed, date unknown, and replaced with the present one-story stucco kitchen wing. The roof on this wing is tin In 1936, an addition to this wing was made, containing a laundry room and basement. An old frame tool house and brick comfort station were demolished in 1930 and a new brick, stucco and concrete utility building with comfort station, 29 feet 6 inches by 29 feet, was constructed directly to the rear of the lodge near the eastern corner of the perimeter wall.

    First Battle of Kernstown The First Battle of Kernstown was fought on March 23, 1862, in Frederick County and Winchester, Virginia, the opening battle of Confederate Maj. Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson's campaign through the Shenandoah Valley during the American Civil War. Attempting to tie down the Union forces in the Valley, under the overall command of Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks, Jackson received incorrect intelligence that a small detachment under Col. Nathan Kimball was vul- nerable, but it was in fact a full infantry division more than twice the size of Jackson’s force. His initial cavalry attack was forced back and he immediately reinforced it with a small infantry brigade. With his other two brigades, Jack- son sought to envelop the Union right by way of Sandy Ridge. But Col. Erastus B. Tyler's brigade countered this movement, and, when Kimball’s brigade moved to his Valley Campaign: Kernstown to McDowell. assistance, the Confederates were driven from the field.

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.

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).

Kenzer, Thesis Director During the American Civil War, New York State’s irrepressible Irish Brigade was alternately composed of a number of infantry regiments hailing both from within New York City and from within and without the state, not all of them Irish, or even predominantly so. The Brigade’s core structure, however, remained constant throughout the war years and consisted of three all-Irish volunteer regiments with names corresponding to fighting units made famous in the annuals of Ireland’s history: the 69th, the 88th, and the 63rd. The 69th, or Fighting 69th, having won praise and homage for its actions at First Bull Run, was designated the First Regiment of the Brigade and went on to even greater glory in the Civil War and every American war thereafter.

"The Regiment Bore a Conspicuous Part": A Brief History of the Eight Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Gibraltar Brigade, Army of the Potomac Abstract On April 10, 1850, a sixteen year-old from Xenia, Ohio named Samuel Sexton copied a stanza of Epes Sargent’s poem, “A Life on the Ocean Wave,” into his notebook: A life on the ocean wave! A home on the rolling deep! Where the scattered waters rave, and the winds their revels keep! Like an eagle caged I pine, on this dull unchanging shore. Oh give me the flashing brine! The spray and the tempest roar! Before his death in New York City, July 11, 1896, Sexton would serve as the Assistant Surgeon of the Eighth Ohio Volunteers, his entire service in the field so strenuous that he was obliged to rest after the second year of combat.

    Stonewall Jackson's 1862 Valley Campaign, April 10-14, 2012

    BGES Presents: Stonewall Jackson’s 1862 Valley Campaign, April 10-14, 2012 1862 dawned dark for the Confederates in Richmond—Federal inroads along the Atlantic Coast threatened lines of communications and industrial sites attempting to build a Confederate navy. In the west, George H. Thomas defeated Confederates at Mill Spring, Kentucky; Confederate hopes in Missouri had been dashed at Elkhorn Tavern. Most glaringly, a quiet but determined Union brigadier general named U.S. Grant sliced the state of Tennessee wide open with victories at Forts Henry and Donelson leading to the fall of Nashville. A Union flotilla filled to the gunwales with blue coated soldiers lurked in the Gulf of Mexico and would soon move against the south’s largest city, New Orleans, occupying it by May 1. In Virginia, the main southern army had unexpectedly abandoned its position in Northern Virginia and fallen back beyond the Rappahannock River while spies reported the movement of the federal army towards boats destined for the Virginia peninsula. In the Shenandoah Valley, a quiet Virginia Military Institute professor who had gained fame at Manassas in July 1861 commanded a Confederate force that was seemingly too small to accomplish anything noteworthy. That professor, Thomas J. Jackson, was an enigma whose strict sense of military propriety had caused him to offer his resignation when politicians interfered with his decision to push soldiers into the field during the harsh winter near Romney. Jackson stationed his force in the northern reaches of the Shenandoah Valley and would soon find himself embroiled in conflict with Brigadier General Richard Garnett on the heals of Stonewall’s only defeat at the battle of Kernstown.
