On Wednesday June 23, 2010 Troy Marshall, New Market Battlefield’s Director of Interpretation, delivered a powerpoint presentation entitled "Embattled Eden" about the trials and tribulations suffered by the hard-working citizens of the Shenandoah Valley during the Civil War’s horrific four years. At least five major military campaigns were fought up and down the Valley during the war. Additionally, Marshall covered the Valley’s most famous fighting unit, the five Virginia infantry regiments that made up the hard-fighting "Stonewall" Brigade (which, of course, won its nickname at First Manassas when it "stood like a stonewall" along with Confederate Gen. Thomas Jonathan Jackson).
