In "Sheridan's Raid," an anonymous article published in the Staunton Vindicator on March 24, 1865, the paper reports on Union general Philip Sheridan's march from the Shenandoah Valley to Charlottesville at the end of the American Civil War (1861–1865). There the cavalry troopers occupied the city and the University of Virginia from March 3 until March 6, 1865.
