The Union might well have won this one, under its confident and energetic commander, Joe Hooker.
But he was wrong-footed by Lee, who made a speciality of avoiding the ground on which his opponents tried to bring him to battle. Also Lee was still teamed with Stonewall Jackson, though this would be their last and most brilliant triumph. (Stonewall was mortally wounded in an incident of which there are many mysterious versions.)
