Reflecting on One Hundred and Fifty Years Past Sesquicentennial Commemoration of the American Civil War One hundred and fifty years ago today, our country was on the precipice of an all out civil war. The Northern (Union) states and the Southern states (Confederacy) were embroiled in a bitter dispute over the issues of slavery and state’s rights. Tensions were heightened when, in November of 1860 the Republican candidate, Abraham Lincoln, a known opponent of slavery, was elected President of the United States. The South Carolina legislature, perceiving a direct threat to their sovereignty and livelihood, called a state convention — the delegates voted to remove the state of South Carolina from the Union. The secession of South Carolina was followed by the secession of six more states — Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas — and the threat of secession by four more — Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina. These eleven states eventually formed the Confederate States of America. Beginning with the Confederate bombardment of Fort Sumter, SC (a strategically located Federal fort in the mouth of Charleston Harbor) on April 12, 1861, our nation would em-

bark on four years of terrible internecine conflict. The Cumberland and Shenandoah Valleys, in particular, would be home to some of the bloodiest days of the War, including the Battles of Gettysburg and Antietam. We suffered through the Burning of Chambersburg and the Ransom of Hagerstown. Additionally, we saw many other battles and skirmishes including those of Cedar Creek, Falling Waters, New Market, Monocacy, South Mountain, Shepherdstown, Martinsburg, Bull Run and Funkstown. Over the coming months, The Valley Revue, in commemoration of the American Civil War Sesquicentennial, will present a monthly series, written by local historians, that will bring to life not only the major battles, but many intriguing, and sometimes little known war related accounts. Each monthly issue will focus on an event or happening in the quadstate area that occurred in that month 150 years ago. We trust that you will enjoy and follow our on going series and we encourage you, our readers, to offer suggestions and input as this series continues to unfold. – VR The Calendar MAgAz ine

ucked away along the western edge of Berkeley Springs State Park is George Washington's Bathtub, the world's only outdoor monument to presidential bathing. One of the famous warm mineral springs is enclosed by this stone tub. Washington first visited the "famed warm springs" in 1748 as a 16-year-old surveyor assistant. For more than four decades, he continued to visit, taking the waters for his health and that of his family. Eventually he bought land in the town and had a rough structure built. Today, the tiny mountain spa town holds the George Washington Bathtub Celebration every mid-March. This year, the date is March 18-20. Local history shares the spotlight with $1 sales showing that George's face still means something in Berkeley Springs. The Museum of the Berkeley Springs opens for the weekend on Saturday at 11am with the debut of a new exhibit on park bathhouses and readings from George Washington's writings.

First noted as Medicine Springs in 1747 on a map drawn by Thomas Jefferson’s father, the waters for many centuries have drawn visitors seeking health and relief from the stress of everyday life.

friends drew up a plat of 134 lots, named the streets, and incorporated The Town of Bath, invoking the muses of the renowned English spa. Yet the magic of the springs prevailed, and the town and surrounding area are known by their name – Berkeley Springs. The waters flow at a constant 74°F from the base of Warm Springs Ridge. You may still drink freely and fill your jugs at Lord Fairfax’s public tap, and wade in the ancient stone pools in the nation's smallest state park. The town has endured cycles of notoriety, fashion, war and modern progress, but remains the Country's First Spa, a quiet, friendly haven surrounded by West Virginia’s splendid outdoors. ß

discovers the murders. Visit ApolloTheatre.org for more information.
