Belle Grove ghosts and Civil War memories linger at Shenandoah
The article recalls Belle Grove near Cedar Creek with its haunted aura, ties to Sheridan and Early, and the 1790 foundation by Major Isaac Hite. It juxtaposes wartime sieges and deaths with reflections on doctors, mortality, and a veteran's death, ending with Christmas musings and a wistful look at Winchester and community memory.
