Confederates Rally To Control Western Virginia
Confederate forces in western Virginia face a stiff counterattack as Union troops regroup after the Northwest Virginia defeat. Gen Henry R. Jackson warns of a possible Union thrust toward Pocahontas County and the Central Railroad, while Gen W W Loring takes command at Staunton to steady a worn, poorly equipped army. Lee shuffles commands, seeking to block roads and retake ground, yet Union leaders like McClellan and Rosecrans are reassigned as Bull Run reshapes plans.
