Just wanted to say, this thread is a great idea. Learn something about units you might not otherwise have known very much about. Great idea.

Agreed...I love reading regimental and brigade histories, so it seemed like an interesting thread. Thank you and feel free to contribute.

On of my favorites, the 8th Georgia...

"The Shenandoah—"Daughter of the Stars"—is born of the marriage of the North and South Rivers at Port Republic, Virginia, and flows due northeast some 90 miles to meet the Potomac at Harpers Ferry. For the whole of her journey the Shenandoah is cradled in a broad valley between the misty Blue Ridge on the east, and the rugged Alleghenies to the west, a valley that stretches on to the southwest far beyond the headwaters of the Shenandoah, and in the opposite direction across the Potomac, through Pennsylvania and Maryland. The portion of the valley that holds the Shenandoah is naturally known as the Shenandoah Valley. During the 19th century it was also know as the Valley of Virginia or, especially during the Civil War, simply "the valley."
