Battle of New Market: The Civil War in Four Minutes

[@darylm.stephens9603]

Thanks for keeping Americas history alive.❤❤

I was at this battlefield last summer (2022). I happened upon it and decided to stop and tour. It was an interesting story, especially about the VMI cadets, their bravery and their losses. I would like to see more about the Civil War in the Shenandoah Valley.

I would appreciate more videos with this lady, she seems very knowledgeable and articulate!

[@terryeustice5399]

Sarah I been to New Market Battlefield. It was an amazing story about the Cadets at VMI how they filled in those gaps in the lines. Thanks for sharing. 💯👍👊

[@terryl7874]

Thanks Sarah !

[@tomjones2202]

Good job Sarah!! I've been to this battlefield and it's very moving to walk across that Field of Lost Shoes and realize what those young men did that day, and the loss they suffered. Please do more! (It's been 8 months since I did my entry here. Now I've seen a video that says that the work that the cadets did here was barley a footnote and very little hand to hand combat. It really tainted my visit to this awesome battlefield. I will do more research to see if what was said actually is true.)

[@RealityOrganized]

Well done. Presented factually, without emotion. Good mix of present day scenery, maps, re-enactor footage, drawings and paintings from the past. Keep up the good work.

Excellent synopsis Sarah…such an important engagement and so significant in the honor and tradition of VMI!

Much love to the Virginia Military Institute

Thanks, Sarah. Excellent presentation of the battle

I am in the UK and have been intrigued by some of the American Civil War battles for many years. This is a fine description of this campaign, very far from John Ford's pastiche of the battle of Newmarket in the 1959 film the Horse Soldiers. The memorial to the VMI is an excellent tribute to the boys involved. 50 years later slightly older boys were involved in similar battles on the western front in Europe. The American Battlefield Trust does good work for a past worth recalling - on both sides.

[@SandyQueue]

Very nice video. My ancestor was part of Snow’s Battery, and wounded at New Market. I’ve been to the amazing re-enactments, and the Museum is fantastic.

[@bobbyleewv]

A large contingent of the Confederate soldiers in the battle were from West Virginia. The battle also contained the only Missouri company of Confederate soldiers in the eastern theater, Woodson's Missouri Cavalry, Co. A. Tom Lovell's painting of the cadets, Youth's Hour of Glory, features Oliver Perry Evans from Jackson County, WV.

[@gale212]

A nice battlefield. I think it's a little VMI forward, but I enjoy it there.

[@williamolenick7798]

Awesome place to visit, even with the interstate in the middle of the field. Also I believe the host has written a book on the subject.

[@DrummerDanVa]

Visited there a few years ago. Slowiy walking the field and thinking what went on there 160 or so years ago was sobering.

[@justmeagain38]

Home area for me!

[@freedomforever3375]

Same for me also.

[@crippledcrow2384]

Too lucky

[@michelehumphrey852]

Love Sarah 💕 I live in New Market, Maryland and am often asked for the location of the battlefield 😏

[@rob-xo2yg]

VMI VMI VMI I LOVE VMI

[@timothyevans2183]

Very nice Nice presentation. Perhaps some day, they will allow living historians to re enact the battle again.

[@therabbitify]

VMI? I LOVE VMI

[@dcash7018]

Lost an ancestor there in the Cedars

[@davidhull1481]

I’m glad to see women doing videos here. History is not just for boys.

[@bigsarge2085]

✌️

[@JvmCassandra]

Using your officer corp this way is not gonna help you with the war conflict. These are cadets for senior ranks later on.

[@arturogonzalez658]

They called Grant a Butcher, and Breckenridge sends young boys to their death.
