What battles was James Longstreet in?

Answer 1

Beginning in July of 1861 he was present at First Manassas(Bull Run).He then was involved in the efforts to resist the move by Union General McClellan up the York/James Peninsula(battles at Yorktown and Williamsburg) and then at Seven Pines/Fair Oaks. After General Lee took command of Confederate forces around Richmond Longstreet was involved in Lee's effort to repel McClellan from the doorstep of Richmond.(the Seven Days' Battles) Mechanicsville,Gaines Mill,Malvern Hill etc. With Gen. Jackson he defeated Gen. John Pope at Second Manassas, then on to Boonsborough(South Mountain),Sharpsburg(Antietam),Fredericksburg. He was not present at the Battle of Chancellorsville,he was detached with two of his divisions in the Suffolk area procuring provisions. He rejoined Lee for the Gettysburg Campaign. In the Autumn of 1863 he was sent with his command(1st Corps) to reinforce Gen.Braxton Bragg in Tennessee and in September his troops played a key role in the Battle of Chickamauga near the GA/TN border and a subsequent attack on Knoxville. He returned to Virginia in time to take part in the latter part of the Battle of the Wilderness.He was with Lee for the rest of the war. Spottsylvania C.H., North Anna,South Anna, Cold Harbor, Siege of Petersburg, and finally the retreat to Appomattox C.H. where he was surrendered with Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Some of the smaller battles may be absent from this account,but this is a fairly complete account.
