520 _a"Campaign and Battle of Lynchburg, Va." by Charles Minor Blackford is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text delves into the military strategies and events surrounding the decisive battles that took place in Lynchburg, Virginia during the Civil War. Blackford draws upon his experiences and observations to provide a detailed analysis of the critical importance of Lynchburg in the war effort, examining both Confederate and Union perspectives. The opening of the book presents the context leading up to the campaign in June 1864, highlighting its strategic significance for both sides. It details the Federal forces' plans under General David Hunter to seize Lynchburg, emphasizing the importance of the city as a supply depot and its implications for troop movement. At the same time, it introduces the Confederate defense led by General Francis Nicholls, a mix of veterans, invalids, and local militia. Early on, the narrative describes the tension and preparations in Lynchburg as the city braces for the impending conflict, painting a vivid picture of the military and civilian atmosphere during this tumultuous period.
