From Fredericksburg, 1862, to the end of the Gettysburg campaign, July 31, 1863.
The Fredericksburg field offered little opportunity to the cavalry.

Following these fights, came the battles of Kelly's Ford, March 13, 1863, and Fleetwood Hill of June 9th, 1863.

The seven days battle around Richmond, in 1862, furnishes a text for study and discussion by critics and students of military science, which probably takes rank ahead of any of the operations of the war.
We often hear expressions that this or that campaign was Napoleonic, but in my humble judgment there was more genius in the conception of the plan of the seven days battle, than in any movement Napoleon ever made.
A writer in the Boston Transcript several years ago, in commenting upon the different generals of the war, stated McClellan was the greatest general developed on either side, and while he was not always successful, he never suffered defeat.

General McClellan was not only defeated at Rich
