Reading the various reports in the OR of the actions of Gen. W.E. 'Grumble' Jones and the regiments within his brigade during and after his foray in western Virginia - the Jones-Imboden Raid - of April/May, 1863. Many of these reports were written while at "Camp Ashby, near Harrisonburg". I'm trying to locate this Camp Ashby.
The present day monument to Turner Ashby is located on the southeast side of modern day Harrisonburg but, Jed Hotchkiss created a map of the Shenandoah Valley (https://www.loc.gov/item/2005625052/) that shows two places labeled "Ashby" farther to the southeast near CrossKeys.
Does anyone where the 1863 site of Camp Ashby is located?
Thanx.
