The Black Hats at Groveton A Civil War saga continues
The narrative follows McClellan’s shadowed moment as Jackson’s maneuvering blocks the Union lines near Centreville. Major action erupts as Ewell and Taliaferro launch a decisive attack while Gibbon’s veteran cannon duel with Wooding and Carpenter presses the Confederate skirmishers. The Black Hats earn their heartrending nickname amid the brutal dusk battle known as Groveton.
