Civil War Timeline by The Webmaster (www.living-in-woodbridge-va.com) Civil War Timeline In the Civil War timeline, April 2011 marks the sesquicentennial of the beginning of the American Civil War. As Virginia residents, in particular residents of Prince William County, we are literally walking in the footsteps of history and surrounded by reminders of an event that defined the United States of America in the 1860's. As a family, we are extremely proud of all of our Civil War veterans. We are still documenting their service but here are just a few of those who volunteered early on in 1861 and became veterans of: 7th Cavalry/80th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers whose engagements include the battle of Perryville, the battle of Stones River, the Tullahoma Campaign, the battle of Hoover's Gap, the battle of Chickamauga, the Atlanta Campaign, the Battle of Resaca and the Siege of Atlanta. The 101st Pennsylvania Regiment whose engagements brought them to Virginia...with advances on Manassas, Virginia on March 10-15 of 1862. G. Steward, a private who served in the Union Army during the Civil War and who later became a commissioned officer in the Montana Territory. Today, we proudly claim a degreed student of history who happens to be a hard-core, "living history" participant. Over the past 14 years, in his spare time, he has stepped back in time and reenacted Civil War events across Virginia and Maryland. This year is no exception. Here are just a few of the annual Civil War events he participates in. First and Second Manassas, New Market, Cedar Creek, Spotsylvania, Gettysburg Here are excerpts from the civil war timeline as the sesquicentennial year marches on.
