Summary
In the summer of 1864, a Confederate army under General Jubal Early moved out from Lynchburg, swept through the Shenandoah Valley and marched on Washington. President Lincoln was disturbed over the threat to the city, but was also busy with plans for bagging the forces of Early. Although Lincoln remained calm, he did not underestimate the importance of the thrust against Washington. He visited Fort Stevens and other defenses of the city on three successive days, and watched with interest as Union soldiers fought to hold the Capital. On two of his visits to Fort Stevens, the President was under fire of Confederate marksmen, and a "saga" of President Lincoln under fire has arisen from the accounts of these occasions.
