MajGen. Sheridan (Jim Standard) briefs LtGen. Grant (Brian Withrow) at the Rutherford House in Charlestown West Virginia on his Shenandoah strategy.
It was the late summer of 1864 and the end to the brutal war which had lasted nearly three bloody years was almost in sight – yet Confederate Armies still operated across the southern states and it was becoming evident it would take a concerted final push to bring this war to its conclusion. This had not been the short conflict many had once predicted in 1861, and, in the fall and late summer of 1864, Union Generals Phillip Sheridan and Ulysses S. Grant would take the war in a new direction, with final victory as their goal.
