American Civil War, Battle of Opequon Creek, 1864

Lithograph entitled and captioned: "The great victory in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, September 19th, 1864. The Battle of Opequan Creek was commenced by General Sheridan, attacking the enemy under General Early, at daylight, and lasted until 5 PM when the Rebels were completely routed, and fled from the field; with a loss of five general officers, and over 5000 officers and men killed and wounded, and leaving in the hands of our brave Union boys, 5000 prisoners, five guns, and fifteen battle flags, as trophies of their well earned victory." The Battle of Opequon, more commonly known as the Third Battle of Winchester, was fought in Winchester, Virginia, during the Valley Campaigns of 1864. Because of its size, intensity, serious casualties among the general officers on both sides, and its result, many historians consider this the most important conflict of the Shenandoah Valley.
