Chapter 8: battles around Richmond.
During my absence from the army, the battle of Seven Pines, or Fair Oaks, as the enemy called it, was fought on the 31st of May and the 1st of June, and General Johnston had been wounded.
General R. E. Lee had succeeded to the command of the army of General Johnston, and it was now designated The army of Northern Virginia.
General Lee's army had received some reinforcements from the South; and General Jackson (after his brilliant campaign in the valley of the Shenandoah, by which he had baffled and rendered useless large bodies of the enemy's troops, and prevented McDowell from being sent to the support of McClellan with his force of 40,000 men) had been ordered to move rapidly toward Richmond for the purpose of uniting in an attack on McClellan's lines.
The following correspondence shows how much the Federal authorities, civil and military, were befogged by Jackson's movements.
