The Shenandoah Valley

The Shenandoah Valley from Waynesboro to Luray.  This valley bounded on East by the Blue Ridge Mountains and on the West by the Appalacian Mountain Chain was the "bread-basket" of the Confederacy during the first years of the Civil War.  It was only after the destruction of the farms in this valley by Union forces, that the Confeerate Atrmy began to feel the pinchof the lack of food supplies.
