The Eighth Corps was not part of any operations in the Shenandoah Valley in 1864. Some troops who had served under Milroy in 1863 were transferred to the Department of West Virginia but were no longer part of the Eighth Corps in 1864. A review of the commanders shown does not list the Union commanders from the 64 Valley because the Eighth Corps wasn't there. Sigel, Hunter, and Crook were the leaders of the Army of West Virginia. The AWV was sometimes referred to in accounts and newspaper articles as the Eighth Corps but the only action of the Eighth Corps in any relation to the Valley Campaign came when Lew Wallace led elements of the Eighth Corps at the Battle of Monoacacy July 9, 1864. To correct this, I am removing the references to the Valley Campaign.
