== The battle ==
Of the several military engagements that took place at Milford (present-day Overall) during the War, the most significant occurred on September 22, 1864. This engagement is associated specifically with Union Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan's victory over Confederate Maj. Gen. Jubal Early at Winchester on September 19, Early's retreat south up the Shenandoah Valley and Sheridan's pursuit, and Early's subsequent stand and defeat by Sheridan at Fisher’s Hill on September 21.
The action at Milford the following day occurred because Early had posted forces there to protect his right flank and rear at Fisher's Hill (about a dozen miles northwest of Milford), and Federal troops en route to attack Early’s flank assaulted the forces at Milford. The Confederates held their ground, thereby preventing the flank attack. Meanwhile, in the principal action at Fisher's Hill, Sheridan routed Early's army. The Milford engagement is considered locally significant.
Other actions occurred at or near Milford during the War. They included cavalry engagements on June 24, 1862, in early May 1864, and on October 25–26, 1864. In addition, Union and Confederate troops camped or bivouacked there at various times during the war.
