Cedar Creek Battlefield

Battle of Cedar Creek
October 19, 1864
Virginia

Confederate General Jubal Early knows his time is running out…
He must attack or he must pull back for lack of supplies.
Federal General Phil Sheridan believes that Early’s forces are no longer a threat,
and he leaves the army to attend a conference in Washington.
The result is the bloody, savage Battle of Cedar Creek, the only Civil War battle where both sides won and lost in the same day…

The Civil War Preservation Trust is announcing a new campaign to save an additional 49 acres of this important battlefield. With a $30 to $1 match you donated dollar has rarely stretched further.
