MAY 4, 1862:
General
George B. McClellan’s forces occupy
Yorktown essentially without firing a shot. McClellan exults over his unearned
victory: "There was great cheering
in all the camps as they received the news, the bands, silent for a month,
played patriotic airs like mad, and as though they would never have another
chance to play."
