Gain's Mill - all day against a smaller Federal force, trapped for the most part against a river. Couldn't win on his own.

Brawner Farm, at Groveton(2nd Manassas) - Could drive off two brigades with a vastly superior force.

2nd Manassas - Was being driven at Groveton when Longstreet comes to the rescue.

1st Kernstown - Got flanked and driven from the field.

All anyone remembers is how he drove three "idiot-then fired" Federal generals from the valley and a flank attack thet got him killed at Chancellorsville.


How many times die he ignore Lee's orders durint the 7 Days?

How many times was he late to where Lee wanted him to be?


Jackson was the Confederacy's "Poster Boy" while they were getting their butts kicked all over the western theater, nothing more. He played a role in one battle where the Confederacy won tatically, but lost far more casualties then they could ever afford. Chancellorsville cost the Confederate army the Gettysburg Campaign. (so one could say in hindsight)

Dave,

One more to add is the Battle of Front Royal.

Union Colonel Kenly commander of the 1st Maryland Infantry with his regiment, a section of Battery E, Pennsylvania Light Artillery,and a couple of companies from other units held off Jackson for over an hour allowing Banks whole army to escape to Winchester.

Grumpy,
