As a Southerner and native of the Shenandoah Valley, I offer reflections on the Civil War-era South… and sometimes a little more. But… expect the unexpected

Private developer denies access to former state maintained cemetery
The soles of my shoes have been on many a cemetery in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, in search of kin… Just this morning I decided to try to visit the cemetery where a distant family member of mine is buried… and was told I could not do so. This was a personal first… […]
Imboden arrives in Staunton
April 17, 2011 by Robert Moore
Approximately 6 p.m., April 17, 1861… Imboden arrives in Staunton to find the Staunton Artillery and Guard drawn up on the railroad platform, but word has found its way to many citizens (many, dedicated Staunton Vindicator readers, no doubt), and many civilians are crowded around the depot as well.

April 1, 2011 by Robert Moore

I had planned on posting about something to do with Southern Unionists today, but in the course of deciding exactly what I wanted to write about (and after a little Web navigation), I came across something that I wanted to pass along. Most in Civil War era studies are probably aware of the Valley of […]
Assumptions (maybe?… and hopefully not mine) and Civil War “memory”
March 20, 2008 by Robert Moore
Thanks to a recent comment, I’ve been made aware of an error. Well, at least it appears to be an error. There are two headstones in the Winchester National Cemetery in Winchester, Virginia that are mix-match in nature when it comes to data and design. Really, this is no great surprise. As I mentioned in […]
