Sheridan's Ride, Battle of Cedar Creek, 1864

Entitled: "Sheridan's ride" showing Sheridan making his famous ride from Winchester. The Battle of Cedar Creek, fought October 19, 1864, was the culminating battle of the Valley Campaigns of 1864 during the American Civil War. Confederate Lt. General Jubal Early launched a surprise attack against the encamped army of Union Major General Philip Sheridan, across Cedar Creek, northeast of Strasburg, Virginia. During the morning fighting, seven Union infantry divisions were forced to fall back and lost numerous prisoners and cannons. Early failed to continue his attack north of Middletown, and Sheridan, dramatically riding to the battlefield from Winchester, was able to rally his troops to hold a new defensive line. A Union counterattack that afternoon routed Early's army. At the conclusion of this battle, the final Confederate invasion of the North was effectively ended. The stunning Union victory aided the reelection of Abraham Lincoln and won Sheridan lasting fame. Artwork by Thure de Thulstrup, chromolithograph published by L. Prang & Company, 1886.
