Last night's history program took place on the bucolic grounds of Thorndale in Frederick County, Virginia. The property is peaceful now except for the distant roar of traffic on I-81, but back in 1864, it was the scene of cavalry activity as Sheridan's forces prepared to strike back against Jubal Early's army at the Battle of Cedar Creek. |
