With the road to Winchester clear after the Confederates’ quick victory at the Battle of Front Royal on May 23rd, 1862, Stonewall Jackson’s Valley forces are within a day’s march of the city and its Union occupiers from Major General Nathaniel P. Banks’ Department of the Shenandoah. Banks stations his forces south of Winchester along two strategically important hills dominating the battlefield: Camp Hill and Bowers Hill. His defensive position is well-placed, and Jackson will have to find a way to break through these two anchor points of the Union line if he is to defeat General Banks and re-capture Winchester for the Confederates. On May 25th, Jackson strikes in one of the most significant clashes of the 1862 Valley Campaign: the First Battle of Winchester.
