Foot Cavalry Passport Program

In 1862, troops under Stonewall Jackson earned the nickname the “Foot Cavalry” because of how fast and how far they could march. Now, in 2012, you can follow in the footsteps of those soldiers by joining the Valley Voyager’s “Foot Cavalry” passport program and visiting the historic sites where they marched and fought 150 years ago.
