Now you can explore the personal struggles of families in Rockingham County, Virginia, who held to their convictions regarding slavery and war and maintained their loyalty to the Union during the Civil War. In Volume II of Unionists and the Civil War Experience in the Shenandoah Valley, you will meet 32 such families who lived in the Greenmount, Edom and Linville communities of the county.
Listed below are the names of the 32 claimants in Volume II. In addition to each claim, the testimony of neighbors and family members opens windows of insight and understanding into each claim and the difficulties county residents experienced as the war raged up and down the Valley. John L. Heatwole, Valley historian and author of The Burning, sets the book in context. In the preface he writes, “Without addressing the impact of the war on the civilian population and the drama of dissent, the story of the Civil War is incomplete and one-dimensional.” Here are the areas and names of the families featured in Volume I.
