- Shenandoah Valley Harvest Scene
- Date:
- 1924
- Description:
- Postcard reads, "The above is a typical harvest scene in the highly productive Valley of Virginia. In the foreground, fertile, undulating fields; in the background, a graceful, forested mountain ridge. George Washington called the Shenandoah Valley the "Garden of America". When in 1861, the Confederate government placed Gen. J. E. Johnston in command in the Lower Valley, he said that section alone would feed an army of 40,000 men. And in this calculation only three counties were considered. Little wonder that the Shenandoah Valley was known as the "Granary of the Confederacy." Published by Shenandoah Publishing House.
