MARCH 23, 1862:
The Battle of Kernstown (The Battle of Strasburg). Union
units and Stonewall Jackson’s Confederate units clash near Kernstown, Virginia.
The Confederates withdraw, underreporting Union strength.
One Confederate
ruefully admits: "It was reported that they were retreating, General, but
I guess they were retreating after us." Jackson, not known for his sense
of humor, replied, "I think I am satisfied, sir."
