- **Event Name**: Civil War Round Table: 
General Hunter’s Retreat through West Virginia 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 12 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: The Tuscarawas Valley Civil War Round Table will meet on Thursday, March 12 at 6:30 PM in the Community Room of the Dover Public Library, located at 525 N. Walnut Street in Dover. The featured presenter will be Jon-Erik Gilot, who will present: “The Hardest Campaign Ever Inaugurated: General David Hunter’s Retreat from Lynchburg.”

 

This talk examines Union Gen. David Hunter’s raid up the Shenandoah Valley in the context of a busy summer of 1864 and considers the circumstances of his subsequent retreat through West Virginia, effectively taking an entire Union army out of the Civil War for a period of nearly a month. In comparing how Hunter, his superiors, and his men viewed these events, we will explore the fallout and impact of this retreat on both the broader war, and on David Hunter’s own legacy.
