The region known as the Valley of Virginia, or the Shenandoah Valley, played an important part in the Civil War from the beginning almost to the end. Indeed Lee's little army was hastening toward that region in its very last march, and, if it had not been headed off by Sheridan's cavalry at Appomattox, the last hostile action on Virginia soil, like the first, might have taken place in the Shenandoah Valley.The situation of Richmond and Washington fore-ordered that Virginia, rather than Kentucky or other border State, should become the principal theater of operations, and the mountain region of the Shenandoah formed a strong natural barrier covering its left flank. All things combined to make the Valley the best line of communications with Virginia and the base at Richmond, for a Confederate army invading the North in this theater of the war; twice it was used for this purpose by Lee. Thus, the general direction of this Valley was northeast, and the Potomac, more easily forded here than farther east, crossed it within fifty miles of Washington. On its eastern or exposed flank it was covered by the Blue Ridge Mountains south of the Potomac, and South Mountain north of this river. These mountains could be crossed only at certain passes, or gaps, through most of which there were good roads. The Valley was connected with Richmond, the Confederate base, by two systems of railway, one leading out of it by way of Strasburg and Manassas Gap, the other by way of Staunton and Rockfish Gap. A good system of roads connected all the towns and villages in the region. The main thoroughfare was the Valley Turnpike, stretching from Staunton near the head of the Valley, to Martinsburg at its lower end, a distance of 120 miles; and passing through Harrisonburg, New Market, Woodstock, Strasburg, and Winchester. The main Valley of the Shenandoah, averaging about twenty miles in width, is closed on its western side by the Alleghenies, a more difficult chain of mountains than the Blue Ridge.

It is the summer of 1863, and America's most reluctant adventurer has sought to escape the War Between the States by deserting north. His intention is to flee to New York where he believes the war will not touch him, but on the way he remembers tucked inside the band of his hat is a slip of paper the beautiful Yankee spy Jenny Rakestraw gave him. It bears the name of her hometown, the place where she said she would be waiting for him. Believing he will be well away from the fighting, and finding Jenny Rakestraw too much of a temptation to resist, Speed decides to detour to that town, a place called Gettysburg.Finding himself caught between two armies fighting America's Bloodiest Battle, 19th Century America's inadvertent hero, Jackson Speed, may be the best hope Abe Lincoln has to save the Union. Or maybe he is the man Robert E. Lee needs to win at the High Tide of the Confederacy.But, as usual, Speed's only concern is how best to save his own skin.
