Stonewall Jackson's Headquarters and All Things Romney, WV: Civil War West Virginia 

I am born and raised in Romney and all my family still lives there. Romney is a such a beautiful small town.

General Jackson is my 3rd great cousin on his mother's side Julia B Neale Woodson. My great great grandmother Mary E Winn (Walton) was his 2nd cousin. I am a member of MOSB.

Have visited Romney a few times, very interesting place. That whole area is steeped in history. I am a Buckeye born and bred and joined the Civil War Trust many years ago. I contribute to the American Battlefield Trust regularly, though modestly due to my circumstances. Preserving our History is very important!

I live in bunker hill wv this area deserves the historical recognition you guys are giving to us on our areas civil war history. Thanks you guys

I lived in Winchester for 15 years... so much Civil War history this this entire area. These videos are very well done. Thank you.

The friendship between these two guys is amazing.

This was a surprise. Thank you ABT. I used to drive from Winchester, through Romney, periodically. I knew a little about Winchester but never knew anything about Romney.

Great information and gave me insight of a relative born and raised in Confluence, PA and participated on the Union side of this.

So enjoyable to watch. Well done Gents! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you very much sharing this

Just catching up to the ABT now.. Thanks Garry for continuing with these great videos!

Thanks for sharing this. I never realized just how close Romney was to Winchester & how it related to the turnpike to the Ohio River.

Love your video giving coverage to smaller places in the war. But Romney being western is stretching it. Glad you covered it

Tremendous wealth of knowledge and really well presented. Great stuff!!

I had a total of 4 ancestors that served in Virginia regiments on both sides. One great great grandfather served in the 7th (West) Virginia and was killed at Antietam, and another great great grandfather served in the 4th (West) Virginia and lost a leg at Vicksburg. On the other side I had 2 great great uncles. One was in the 1st Virginia (Irish) Battalion and was listed as missing after Antietam and the other was in the 36th Virginia. He was the only one who came through the war unscathed.

I went too the deal school right across from this home I saw it every day

These guys are great

TJ is my favorite. His foot cavalry loved that turnpike.

Romney is the oldest town in WV.

Awesome videos guys.

Great informative video !!!!!

Angels were sent down from Heaven to Bear up Stonewalls Soul.... They could not find it so they flew back in Sorrow.... When they got to the Golden Gates above.....They found out by a Rapid Flank Maneuver he had already Cut away in.....🙏

Romney I went specialize diesel school almost 1 whole year training with guy from there. That 1 most nice guys I ever meet. Anything like him very good people up there.

Thanks so much for the interesting history of CSA / US in Va and W, VA . Most only have a H.S. knowledge of what happened, so much more to the war than most have been taught.

Martinsburg bunker hill are other civil war places there's a interesting civil war battle on the parallel road to the one there on 522 in unger wv right on state line

I would love to do some metal detecting in the area

I have the mort kunsler print of jackson's March on romeny

There are only two monuments that contend for the title of "first", one in Romney and one in Cheraw, SC. The Cheraw monument was dedicated on July 26, 1861, the Romney monument was dedicated exactly 2 months later. Technically the Romney monument is first because it was inscribed to "southern rights", the Cheraw monument was inscribed later. There was a Federal ban on inscribing monuments in the south, but the West Virginians were sneakier and did it secretly.

You could have hit the civil war spot on the west side of Romney. Fort Mill up on the high ground.

Banks was allegedly fond of shell.

SAD!!! WV schools just RE-Named Stonewall Jackson Middle School!!!! Makes me sick!!!

My religious beliefs teach me to feel as safe in battle as in bed God has fixed the time of my death I do not concern myself with that but to be prepared whenever it shall overtake me That is how all men should live then all would be equally brave General Thomas J Jackson Confederate Army

There's a lot of "Mitt' around Romney.

Guys, is this now a family home, is it still in the White family, or is it a museum open to the public?

So was Stonewall Jackson ever actually in that house?

Poor Loring's remains keep getting disturbed and moved. leave the poor guy alone

Holy sh÷t in the bush!😀nice storytelling ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha😀

PLEASE...learn the difference between these WORDS: CA-VAL-RY and CAL-VA-RY. It was the CAVALRY that was the military term! Good video, but the mispronunciation of THIS WORD drives me nuts!
