George H. Gordon, From Brook Farm to Cedar Mountain, Chapter 3: through Harper's Ferry to Winchester—The Valley of the Shenandoah. (search)
en o'clock that night he wrote in his brief manner that he attacked the Federal army at four P. M., and was repulsed by it at dark. He gave his force as three thousand and eighty-seven infantry, two hundred and ninety cavalry, and twenty-seven pieces of artillery; and his loss at eighty killed, three hundred and forty-two wounded, and two hundred and thirty prisoners. --Narrative of Military Operations directed during the Late War between the States. By Joseph E. Johnston, General C. S. A., 1874, pp. 106, 107. It would seem that not only was Jackson deceived by Shields, but that a gentle reminder from Johnston that the former was too far from his enemy may have irritated Jackson to make his ill-judged movement. We find, too, that Johnston instructed Jackson to keep the Federals in the valley,--all of which has been claimed for Jackson. Again, on the other side it is claimed that this was not a blind, heedless assault; that it was not a blunder or an accident, but the result of c

years with General Lee, p. 38. See also Narrative of Military Operations directed during the late War between the States. By Joseph E. Johnston, General C. S. A., 1874, p. 110. But Jackson hesitated. Milroy, who was at MacDowell (about thirty miles from Staunton), had pushed his advance over the Shenandoah Mountain to the neighbbrigade, in front of Fredericksburg. See Narative of Military Operations directed during the late War between the States, by Joseph E. Johnston, General C. S. A. (1874), p. 110. Soon after General Jackson's return from MacDowell, a letter then written by him was delivered to me after the army had reached the neighborhood of thd instructions. These were given at once, and were to advance and attack unless he found the enemy too strongly intrenched. Joseph E. Johnston, General C. S. A. (1874), p. 129.

was necessary to perform. General Joseph E. Johnston, in his order of May 29, 1862, announcing another brilliant victory by the combined divisions of Major-Generals Jackson and Ewell, constituting a portion of this army, over General Banks at Front Royal, Middletown, and Winchester, declares that several thousands of prisoners In Johnston's Narrative he puts the prisoners at 2,000, probably nearly correct. See Narrative of military operations, by Joseph E. Johnston, General C. S. A., 1874, p. 129. were captured, and an immense quantity of ammunition and stores of every description. Richmond Examiner of June 5, 1862. Among other captures the enemy claimed to have taken a large amount of baggage at Cedar Creek, with all the knapsacks of the Zouaves. The original reports of this retreat, my own among the number, attributed many cold-blooded atrocities to the enemy. In the excitement of such a retreat, and thus early in the war, it was not strange that we put faith in impr
