The Union forces at Martinsburg were commanded by Brigadier General Julius White. Union troops there outnumbered the Union forces at Harper's Ferry. As Halleck and McClellan argued over Harper's Ferry, General White had received no orders from Washington DC. In that situation, General White decided to remain where he was in Martinsburg.
