With the Peninsula campaign virtually over by July 1,1862, newspaper articles in Richmond gave General A. P. Hill exaggerated praise for Hill's role in the final battles of that campaign. Hill reported to General James Longstreet. Longstreet became jealous of the praise poured on his subordinate officer and a war of words broke out. At one point a duel to the death was a distinct possibility. When Hill refused to reach an understanding with Longstreet that would have peacefully ended the problem, Longstreet had Hill arrested on July 10, 1862 for insubordination. Not long after Hill was returned to active duty on July 26th due to the intervention of General Robert E. Lee.
