Antique Winchester Battlefield Map Sept.19, 1864- Official Record Published 1893

Description: Frederick County, VA - Third Battle of Winchester- Opequon On September 19, 1864, Maj. Gen. Phillip Sheridan advanced toward Winchester along the Berryville Pike with the VI and XIX Corps, crossing Opequon Creek east of town. The Union advance was delayed long enough for Maj. Gen. Jubal Early to concentrate his forces to meet the main assault. Veteran Union and Confederate divisions fought hard for several hours, but Early’s men were gradually driven back toward Winchester, anchored around the defensive works on the north end of town. By late-afternoon, the VIII Corps and Union cavalry turned the Confederate left flank and Early ordered a general retreat. The Union victory began a series of losses for Early’s army in the Valley from which it would not recover. The battle was the largest and costliest fought in the Shenandoah Valley.*****This antique map is an hour by hour depictionof the battlefield ofWinchesteronSeptember 19, 1864 This map is a original, antique map No.1 (not a reproduction) a section from a folio page of maps from the Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies Commissioned by Resolution of Congress May 19, 1864,in accordance to serve as the official historical record of the war.(It was published between 1891-1895) This map still remains the definitive informational source of the Third Battle of Winchester available.
