The Battle of New Market was a battle fought on May 15, 1864, in Virginia during Valley Campaigns of 1964 in the American Civil War. A small Confederate army forced Union Major General Franz Sigel and his army out of the Shenandoah Valley. In the spring of 1864, Union commander in chief Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant set in motion a grand strategy designed to press the Confederacy into submission. Control of the strategically important and agriculturally rich Shenandoah Valley was a key element in Grant's plans. While he confronted General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia in the eastern part of the state, Grant ordered Major General Franz Sigel's army of 10,000 to secure the Velley and threaten Lee's flank, starting the Valley Campaigns of 1864. Sigel was to advance on Staunton, Virginia in order to link up with another Union column commanded by George Crook, which would advance from West Virginia and destroy the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad and other Confederate industries in the area. Receiving word that the Union Army had entered the Valley, Major John C. Breckinridge pulled together all available forces to repulse the latest threat. On the morning of May 13, Breckinridge decided to move north to attack Sigel. By the evening of May 14, Sigel's advance forces had reach a position north of the village of New Market, while Breckinridge was a Lacy Spring eight miles south of New Market. The Confederates started toward the Union positions at 1:00 a.m. on May 15, hoping to trap and crush the Union army.

The Civil War historian recounts a significant yet smaller battle in the Shenandoah Valley—showing how it changed the war and the lives of those present. The battle of New Market came at a crucial moment in the Union’s offensive movements. It would also be the last major Confederate victory in the Shenandoah Valley. The outcome altered campaign plans across the North and South, while the bloody battle changed the lives of those who witnessed or fought it. In the spring of 1864, Union Maj. Gen. Franz Sigel prepared to lead a new invasion into the Valley. Confederate Maj. Gen. John C. Breckinridge scrambled to organize a defense. Young cadets from the Virginia Military Institute were called to the battle lines just days after leaving their studies. When the opposing divisions clashed on May 15th, 1864, local civilians watched as the combat unfold in their streets and churchyards and aided the fallen. In Call Out the Cadets, Sarah Kay Bierle traces the history of this battle, covering its military aspects and shedding light on the lives it forever changed. Youth and veterans, generals and privates, farmers and teachers—all were called into the conflict or its aftermath, an event that changed a community, a military institute, and the very fate of the Shenandoah Valley.

Excerpt from The Battle of New Market: May 15, 1864 When Grant undertook the execution of his plan to take Richmond, in the spring of 1864, he assigned Major-General Franz Sigel, commanding the Department of West Virginia, the task of overrunning the Valley with the 25,000 men at his disposal. This rich section had been regarded as the granary of Lee's Army throughout the war, and many futile efforts had been made to gain complete possession of it. Imboden learned early in the spring of Sigel's orders, which were to press up the Valley with about 8,000 men, with a view to seizing Staunton and Lynchburg, while Crook with a somewhat larger force was to make a raid through Southwest Virginia and destroy the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad as he moved eastward towards Lynchburg, where it was expected the two columns would form a junction. Leaving the Kanawha on May 2d, Crook penetrated as far as Union, where he united with Averell, and then fell back, after having defeated Jenkins at Cloyd's Mountain on the 9th, again at New River on the nth, and after cutting the railroad. On May 1st, Sigel commenced his march upon Staunton, which was intended to be a diversion in favor of Crook. In the Valley, Imboden, with less than 3,000 men, alone stood across his path, but, on the 2d, broke camp and advanced from Mount Crawford to meet Sigel, after calling upon the Home Guards in Rockingham and Augusta Counties to prepare to assist him. He also requested General Smith to place the Corps of Cadets in readiness to march to his support. During the late winter, the cadets had been unusually restless.
