The Porters and Centerville Campaign Retrospective
Major General John Pope reports sixteen days of hard fighting near Manassas and Centerville, detailing Porter and Griffin’s detachments, heavy enemy reinforcements, exhausted troops, and strategic retirements to Centerville to avoid disaster. He commends Hooker, Kearney, McDowell, Banks, Reno, Heintzelman and others while lamenting absence of decisive action by some commanders.
