Brig Gen Charles Stone directed actions from Edwards Ferry while Col Edward Baker led crosses to Leesburg, casualties rose with 49 killed 1158 wounded 714 missing or captured. The Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War formed to probe missteps and Baker’s death sparked political fallout. Stone faced censure though not formally charged and was later reduced in rank. Baker’s death prompted Lincoln’s grief and his later political actions.
