The Union victory at Opequon came at a time when its moral effect was most needed in the North, and restored the fertile Shenandoah valley to the Union armies, after a long series of humiliating reverses in that granary of the Confederacy.

Butler's war-horse, Almond eye, a name derived from the peculiar formation of the eyes of the horse.
