| | Sheridan’s Report on the Shenandoah Campaign (OR, 43, Part I, 40-57) |
 | | The Shenandoah Valley is a continuation of the Cumberland Valley, south of the Potomac, and is bounded on the east by the Blue Midge and on the vest by the eastern slope of the Allegheny Mountains, the general direction of these chains; being southwest. |
 | | The valley itself was rich in grain, cattle, sheep, hogs, and fruit, and was in such a prosperous condition that the rebel army could march down and up it, billetting on the inhabitants. |
 | | On the night of the 12th Crook was in position at Cedar Creek, on the left of the Valley pike, Emory on the right of the pike, the Sixth Corps on the right of Emory, and the cavalry on the right and left flanks. |
