The mistaken report that turned Jackson back - did they make it?
This episode details the events leading up to the Battle of Kernstown, focusing on the intelligence error that shaped Confederate General Thomas Jonathan Jackson's decisions. It explores how a single tactical defeat, influenced by miscommunication and deception, had unforeseen consequences for the Union war effort in the East.
Event: Battle of Kernstown
Date: March 23, 1862
Location: Shenandoah Valley, Virginia
Confederate Commander: Thomas Jonathan Jackson
Union Commander: James Shields (tactical command to Turner Kimball)
- Confederate General Thomas Jonathan Jackson marched 25 miles with 3,000 men, believing he would face an equal force.
- The intelligence, provided by Colonel Turner Ashby, stated that Union Brigadier General James Shields had only 3,000 men.
- Ashby's report was based on unverified secondhand information from Confederate loyalists in Winchester.
- Union General James Shields, injured with a broken arm, orchestrated a deception from his sickbed, making it appear his entire force was withdrawing.
- Colonel Turner Kimball, under Shields's orders, positioned 16 artillery pieces and 800 infantry on Prichard's Hill, awaiting Jackson's advance.
