| Description |
Stickley Mill Ruins, near Strasburg, Virginia, circa 1941-1970. Caption reads: "Stickley Mill Ruins. Midway between Middletown and Strasburg, Va., along Cedar Creek and the Shenandoah Valley Pike are two stone mill ruins. The smaller mill was operated when it had but two competitors in the Lower Shenandoah Valley. The larger was burned in October, 1864, when over 100 mills and 2,000 barns and contents were destroyed and 15,000 domestic animals driven from the region by Union forces. This drastic action was to prevent the 'Granary of the Confederacy' from maintaining another army, and General Sheridan boasted that a crow would have to carry his knapsack to cross the valley."
