Incorrect victory claimed by Confederate foe admitted
The report notes a mistaken belief that a Confederate force had been defeated, which was later contradicted the following day confirming the error in judgment.
Battle of Ox Hill Chantilly Faces No Clear Victor
The Sept. 1 fighting at Ox Hill near Chantilly pitted Jackson and Ewell against Reno and Heintzelman. A Confederate casualty was Gen. Phil Kearny, killed while leading charges. Pope, short of supplies and loyalist support, ordered retreat to Alexandria as Lee pursued, with McClellan reassuming command of the Army of the Potomac.
