	The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: Shenandoah valley @ HighBeam Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The valley was an important corridor in the westward pioneer movement, and it became a rich agricultural area with farm-land, orchards, and pastures.
		During the Civil War, the valley was the ideal avenue of approach for the Southern invasion of the North, and it served as one of the Confederates' principal storehouses.
		Shenandoah figured in the "valley campaign" of Stonewall Jackson in 1862; Lee retreated through the valley after being checked in the Antietam campaign (1862) and the Gettysburg campaign (1863).

	The Shenandoah Valley by Ron and Dianne Elliott
		The Shenandoah Valley is both contributing to and benefiting from the resulting global dynamic of emerging social, cultural and economic changes producing the "global techno-village" of this new era.
		Suddenly the stars realized that this valley had been the bed of their beautiful lake and the blue mountains around it were the same ones upon which they had cast their robes of light in ages past.
		Though the Valley is experiencing an unprecedented temporal experience in its transition to this new paradigm, traits and icons of past eras continue to influence the Valley in the "information age." Though the Shenandoah River basin protected much of its natural beauty and avoided other harmful effects of the industrial revolution of days gone by.

	Geography and Strategic Importance of the Valley
		The Shenandoah Valley is that portion of the Great Valley of Virginia that is drained by the Shenandoah River and its affluents.
		The Shenandoah Valley is bounded on the northwest by North Mountain, the first range of the Allegheny Mountains, and on the southeast by the Blue Ridge, which separates the Valley from the Piedmont region and coastal plain of eastern Virginia.
		For the last forty miles of its journey to the Potomac, the Shenandoah River is paralleled on the west by a meandering, high- banked stream called Opequon Creek, or simply the Opequon (Oh- PECK-n) which arises in the vicinity of Winchester and drains the western portion of the Lower Valley, emptying into the Potomac River.

	Strategic Overview of Civil War Action in the Shenandoah Valley
		The Shenandoah Valley's unique geographic, topographic, and economic features, and its military-strategic importance, influenced the conduct of the Civil War in Virginia and in the Main Eastern theater.
		To the south, the Valley was "the breadbasket of the Confedracy" providing much of the food and war materials for the Army of Northern Virginia.
		When this is completed, the Valley from Winchester up to Staunton, ninety-two miles, will have but little in it for man or beast.'' This bitter month became known to Valley residents as "The Burning".

	Amazon.com: Shenandoah Valley Folklife (Folklife in the South Series): Books: Scott Hamilton Suter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Although comparatively little is known about the Native American tribes that inhabited the Shenandoah Valley, archaeological finds over the past few decades have revealed more and more about the cultures of the people who lived in the region ten thousand years before the first Europeans built houses there.
		Anyone who has traveled through the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia knows that it is a naturally beautiful place, unfortunately pocked, like most of the United States, with garish fast-food "restaurants." But there is more to the place than the mountains and corn fields, as Scott Suter's deeply informative book reveals.
		So, I highly recommend a deeper trip through "the Valley." The book, by the way, is well researched, vaguely academic in tone, as it uncovers the antecedents to the Valley's current folkways; but that doesn't mean it's hard to read.
