September 13, 1864---The coming showdown at Shenandoah



SEPTEMBER 13, 1864:     

As Grant slowly chokes off Richmond and Petersburg and Sherman prepares to do what he feels he must in Atlanta, Philip Sheridan moves against Jubal Early in the Shenandoah Valley. Today they clash at Abraham’s Creek, near Winchester, Virginia. It is a small skirmish, but Sheridan is studying his opponent and is becoming familiar with Early’s strengths and weaknesses.
