REFLECTING ON ONE HUNDREDAND FIFTY YEARS PAST

Sesquicentennial Commemoration of the American Civil War The First Battle of Kernstown: 1862

Contributed by

Pritchard Hill

T

he Battle of Kernstown was the first major action in Virginia’s spring campaign season of 1862. It marked the beginning of Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson’s Shenandoah Valley Campaign. While the exploits to follow helped cement Jackson as a legend in the annals of American military history, Kernstown would be his only tactical defeat of the war.

In March 1862, Union General Nathaniel Banks was in the lower Shenandoah Valley with a large force, occupying Winchester, Virginia. General Jackson, with a smaller army, was also in the Valley, withdrawing south.

Confederate authorities feared that Banks might leave the Shenandoah, either crossing the Blue Ridge to flank the larger Confederate army that was then withdrawing from Manassas, or returning to Washington, D.C. to reinforce Union General George McClellan’s planned expedition to the James Peninsula. Jackson’s orders were to prevent Bank’s command from leaving the Valley.

By mid-March, Banks began doing just that. Two of Banks’ three divisions withdrew from the Valley toward Washington, freeing troops 26 MA RC H 2 0 1 2

to join McClellan’s advance on Richmond. Banks himself returned to Washington, leaving only the division of General James Shields in Winchester. Under these circumstances, Jackson was obliged to take the offensive, an opportunity he always relished.

On March 22, Jackson received bad intelligence on Shields’ command.

Turner Ashby’s Confederate cavalry reported only one brigade of infantry and a few artillery pieces in the small town of Kernstown, just south of Winchester, while the remainder of Union troops had retired north of Winchester toward Harpers Ferry.

Jackson saw an opportunity for an attack and easy victory. In truth, Union Colonel Nathan Kimball’s brigade was not so isolated in Kernstown; the remainder of Shields’ division had only withdrawn a short distance north and remained in support.

In late morning of March 23, Jackson launched his attack just north of town. He sent Turner Ashby’s cavalry in a feint assault on Kimball’s main line astride the Valley Turnpike, while the brigades of Richard Garnett and Samuel Fulkerson moved against the Federal right to attack the artillery THE VALLEY REVUE C A L EN DA R MAGA Z IN E

position on Prichard’s Hill. Failing to take the hill, Jackson sent these brigades further west to Sandy Ridge, running north-south, parallel to the Valley Turnpike. Jackson intended to move north along the wooded ridge and attack Kimball’s rear, blocking his escape.

In response, Kimball ordered up the large brigade of Erastus Tyler from the reserve to repulse Garnett and Fulkerson. The Confederates were first to secure the protection of a high stone wall, pouring a murderous fire into Tyler’s advance. However, Jackson’s force of about 3,000 was now outnumbered by over double their strength and the difference proved too great. After holding back the enemy for over an hour, the Confederate line began to falter. By the time Jackson deployed his reserved brigade under Jesse Burks, it was too late to stem the retreat. All told, Jackson’s men suffered over 700 casualwww. v al l eyrevue. com

ties, and the Federals just under 600.

There is no question that Kernstown represented a decisive defeat for Jackson. Nevertheless, the fight accomplished larger strategic goals for the Confederacy. Federal authorities in Washington were alarmed by Jackson’s aggression, ordering General Banks back to the Valley with the majority of his command. Other troops were detached from McClellan to reinforce Union General John C. Fremont’s command in far Western Virginia, and the division of Union General Irvin McDowell was held back from McClellan’s Peninsula Campaign to remain protectively near Washington. Jackson had succeeded in distracting thousands of Federal Troops in Western Virginia and lightening Union pressure on the main Confederate army to the east. The stage was now set in the Shenandoah Valley for one of the most legendary campaigns of the entire Civil War. MA RC H 2 0 1 2

erkeley Springs, a fountainhead of warm mineral waters frequented by Native Americans long before Europeans arrived in the New World, are at the heart of a mountain spa community in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle. First noted as Medicine Springs in 1747 on a map drawn by Thomas Jefferson’s father, the waters for many centuries have drawn visitors seeking health and relief from the stress of everyday life.

In 1776, George Washington’s family and friends drew up a plat of 134 lots, named the streets, and incorporated A backyard nature store offering: n Binoculars n Bird, Bat, Butterfly Houses n Food & Feeders n Squirrel Entertainment n Garden Gloves, Tools & Ornaments n Kid’s Nature Projects n Games & Puzzles n Spinners & Kites n Books, Maps & CD’s Information about local hiking, biking, fishing & n Walking Sticks & Wind Chimes n Wild Republic’s Audubon Bird Collection local events Open Daily 10am-5pm n Tree Free Greeting Cards

The Town of Bath, invoking the muses of the renowned English spa. Yet the magic of the springs prevailed, and the town and surrounding area are known by their name – Berkeley Springs.

The waters flow at a constant 74°F from the base of Warm Springs Ridge.

You may still drink freely and fill your jugs at Lord Fairfax’s public tap, and wade in the ancient stone pools in the nation’s smallest state park. The town has endured cycles of notoriety, fashion, war and modern progress, but remains the Country’s First Spa, a quiet, friendly haven surrounded by West Virginia’s splendid outdoors. ß

Historic Hedgesville

edgesville is located in Skinner’s Gap on North Mountain, where the original Warm Springs Road (now WV9) passed through from Alexandria, Virginia to Bath (Berkeley Springs). An abundant spring drew the first settler and today serves as Town Spring marked by a protective structure. The spring is reportedly never affected by drought and the water is a persistent 57 degrees.

In 1738, the Hedges family began to acquire land just east of the gap. During the French and Indian War in the 1750s, George Washington supervised the construction of a stockade fort in the gap called Fort Hedges. It was one of a string of forts constructed for protection against the French and their Indian allies.

The town was laid out in 1832 and Distinctive established as Hedgesville by the Virginia Gifts & General Assembly in 1836. At that time, a law was passed making it unlawful to “sit or loiter Handcrafted Arts about Town Spring drinking spirits.” The town n Pottery n Home & Garden Decor was finally incorporated in 1854 and in 1870 n Jewelry n Stained Glass n Jams & Jellies the Town Council was given control of the springs.

A number of antebellum historic structures www.northmountainarts.com still line the village streets, including many in Historic Hedgesville, WV original log homes. The village is listed in the 304-754-5727 National Register of Historic Places.
