In the morning, Union troops under General N.P. Banks pushed quickly into Mount Jackson, in Shenandoah County in western Virginia. Confederate troops had no time to complete their customary destruction of bridges and property before being forced to retreat. Mount Jackson was the home of Dickinson graduate John Henry Grabill, already fighting with the Virginia cavalry. (By John Osborne)
