Shenandoah Valley 1864

This image was scanned from an original linen newspaper from 1864.
This was a wood block carving that was typically used in newspapers
in that era. Pretty cool...

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

I have family all over that area from one end to the other but mostly around Staunton, Waynesboro, Verona, Fishersville, West Augusta, Deerfield, etc.. Lots of history in that area, for sure...
