In the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia we are short on sympathy for the yanks. Sheridan sent Custer and his ilk through our county and our farm in 1864 and burned almost every barn and mill in the Valley. They also stole or killed all the livestock and burned all crops in the field and any harvested grain. Alot of personal property was plundered and some women were raped.

My grandmother, who was from Maryland, carried a hatred for yankees until her death. In Shenandoah County one will still see more Confederate flags flying than in any county in the South.
