al George Stewart, and associated with the Maryland line. The position chosen for meeting Fremont was a continuous ridge, a little south of the point where the Keezletown road crosses that from Harrisonburg to Port Republic. This range of hills crosses the latter highway obliquely, in such manner that General Ewell's left, occupying it, was much advanced beyond his right, and rested, at its extremity, very near the prolongation of the Keezletown road, toward the west. The hills are elevated, but occupied by arable fields. In front runs an insignificant rivulet, while the rear and flanks of the position are covered by woods of noble oaks, penetrable evack to the ground occupied by them before the beginning of the action. The enemy then developed a strong movement toward General Ewell's left, for which the Keezletown road, proceeding westward from Cross Keys, provided such facilities. This advantage, with the superior numbers of the opposing army, manifestly suggested the f

aring in rear of the Confederates vanished as they passed beyond New Market. Some six miles south of this place Early left the Valley Pike and took the road to Keezletown, a move due in a measure to Powell's march by way of Timberville toward Lacy's Springs, but mainly caused by the fact that the Keezletown road ran immediately aKeezletown road ran immediately along the base of Peaked Mountain — a rugged ridge affording protection to Early's right flank-and led in a direction facilitating his junction with Kershaw, who had been ordered back to him from Culpeper the day after the battle of the Opequon. The chase was kept up on the Keezeltown road till darkness overtook us, when my weary reached Harrisonburg they went into camp, Powell in the meanwhile pushing on to Mt. Crawford, and Crook taking up a position in our rear at the junction of the Keezletown road and the Valley pike. Late in the afternoon Torbert's cavalry came in from New Market arriving at that place many hours later than it had been expected.

g of the eighteenth of May General Jackson was at Mount Crawford, Battle-fields of the South (Ashton's Letter), p. 324. eight miles from Harrisonburg on the Staunton pike. He then knew that Banks had fallen back to Strasburg: we had been there since the 13th. At Mossy Creek, Ewell conferred in person with Jackson. Then and there a vigorous campaign against Banks was planned. One of Ewell's brigades, the largest of his command (Taylor's), was to march from Elk Run Valley, by way of Keezletown, and unite with Jackson in the valley turnpike, a few miles south of New Market, while the remainder of his command followed the South Fork of the Shenandoah to Luray. On the afternoon of the 18th Ewell returned to direct the course of his troops.3 It was then from New Market that Jackson's campaign against Banks commenced; from this point that a united Major-General Ewell was left with his division and a regiment of cavalry in observation on the upper Rappahannock.

Another brigade followed his trains as rear guard. Bayard's cavalry, left as as left. This disposition made and reinforced with two Virginia regiments of Elzey's brigade, under Col. James A. Walker, on his right, he pressed forward and drove Blenker, of Fremont's left, from his position, and forced him to retreat to the Keezletown road, Walker advancing still further on the right and by his desperate courage adding to the success of Trimble's movement. During this time Fremont advanced Milroy against the Confederate center, and a fierce artillery duel followed, but with

Sidney, encamped on the south bank of the same North river at Rockland mills. The cavalry followed the bacroad parallel to and on the left of the infantry advance. On the 29th, a long march was made, through Harrisonburg and Keezletown, to Sparta, where the command was reunited and encamped. The troops, animated by the familiar scenes of the Shenandothe afternoon, which he held until after dark, when, leaving Jackson's cavalry on picket, he followed his trains by the Keezletown road, Ramseur in front, five miles to Flook's, where he arrived and went into camp about midnight. The Federals pursuearched to the vicinity of Harrisonburg; three of the divisions encamping beyond that town. Lomax's cavalry went by the Keezletown road to Peale's, while Rosser, with Fitz Lee's division, took the back road and fell on the enemy's rear at Brock's gap
