The northern part of Loudoun County was a Unionist enclave in Confederate Virginia that remained a contested battleground for armies and factions of all stripes throughout the Civil War. Lying between the Blue Ridge Mountains; Harpers Ferry; and Washington; D.C.; the Loudoun Valley provided a natural corridor for commanders on both sides; while its mountainous fringes were home to partisans; guerillas; deserters and smugglers. This detailed history examines the conflicting loyalties in the farming communities; the peaceful Quakers caught in the middle; and the political underpinnings of Unionist Virginia.

My grandfatherBy Shelby LyonsI have been researching my grandfather for years; and this is a phenomenal find! He was the Chief Engineman John Lyons who assisted the surgeon in removing the mortar from the man's chest (displayed on the cover of the book). I need to buy this immediately!
