Chapter 10: Chancellorsville Brandy Station Winchester-Berryville Jordan Springs Middleburg-Upperville-Fairfax. After the battle at Fredericksburg, General Lee's army went into winter quarters along the south side of the Rappahannock, and the Federal army made itself comfortable on the north side of the same river. It was a rigorous winter, and many of the Confederates suffered severely from lack of proper uniforms and shoes, and from want of proper food. In April, General H, C. M. Avery, E. G.

On June 9, 1863, at Fleetwood, near Brandy Station, the greatest cavalry engagement of the war occurred. The Union forces, numbering about 10,000 men, under General Pleasanton, attacked General Stuart, commanding the Confederate cavalry, which numbered nearly the same as the Union horsemen.

a brigade. His career as brigadier-general showed his ample capacity for command. Few nobler men ever died for any cause. After the Confederate army crossed the Potomac, the corps of Longstreet and A. P. Hill were stationed near Culpeper Court House. General Ewell's corps operated for awhile in the valley, then retired toward Madison Court House. On the 1st of August the Federal cavalry, following him, crossed the Rappahannock at the station and at Kelly's ford, and advanced toward Brandy Station. The progress of the enemy, says General Lee, was gallantly resisted by General Stuart with Hampton's brigade, commanded by Col. L. S. Baker, who fell back gradually to our lines about two miles south of Brandy. Colonel Baker fought against great odds, and the engagement was most creditable to his efficiency and the bravery of his veteran troopers. Colonel Baker was severely wounded, losing an arm, and after he was wounded would probably have been captured but for the ever daring Capt

the crossing of Buford's cavalry division at Morton's and Raccoon fords. The brigades of Buford that had crossed over were driven back. The Fifth, Twenty-third and five companies of the Twelfth regiment, under Colonel Garrett, crossed at Raccoon ford, and the Twentieth and five companies of the Twelfth crossed at Morton's ford, and followed the Federals to Stevensburg. These regiments succeeded in forcing the enemy to retire. The loss in the brigade was 4 killed and 38 wounded. At Brandy Station, General Gordon reports: Near Bradford's house I sent the First North Carolina cavalry to attack the enemy in rear while we were moving on his flank. That command captured and killed 60 of the enemy. Near Mr. Bott's house, the Fourth and Fifth were charged in flank by the Eighteenth Pennsylvania cavalry, and broke in considerable confusion. The brigade took no further active [part in the] operations during the day. While making a reconnaissance toward Catlett's Station on the night

ock. Here, on July 31st, the Federal cavalry crossed the river in force and advanced toward Brandy Station, stubbornly resisted by Hampton's brigade of cavalry under command of Colonel Baker, Generalh Carolina regiments, the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth. But the wound he had received at Brandy Station was a serious one—the bones of his arm being completely shattered, and the use of it lost toments. General Barringer was in seventy-six actions and was thrice wounded, most severely at Brandy Station. He had two horses killed under him at other engagements. He was conspicuous at the battles of Willis' Church, Brandy Station, Auburn Mills; Buckland Races, where he led the charge; Davis' Farm, where he was commander; and he was in command of a division at Reams' Station. His brigade was. Junius Daniel, of Rodes' division and Ewell's corps. On June 10, 1863, Ewell's corps left Brandy Station, and two days later reached Cedarville, whence Ewell sent Rodes and Jenkins to capture Marti
