June 8, 1862 

The Battle of Cross Keys 

Rockingham County, VA

Maj. Gen. John C. Fremont > Col. Gustave P. Cluseret's brigade; Brig. Gen. James Shields > Colonel Samuel S. Carroll; Brig. Gen. Robert C. Schenck , Brig. Gen. Robert H. Milroy, and Brig. Gen. Julius H. Stahel 

vs.

Jackson: Maj. Gen. Richard S. Ewell; Captain William T. Poague's battery, Captain James McD. Carrington;  Col. Samuel V. Fulkerson's 37th Virginia Infantry;  Brig. Gen. Isaac R. Trimble's brigade, Brig. Gen. Arnold Elzey

* Part of Jackson's successful Valley Campaign of 1862, right before the climactic achievement of Port Republic. Famously, he makes a stand to prevent the two Union armies, on opposite sides of the mountain range, from reuniting and attacking him. It works: he keeps Shields and Fremont separated then defeats each in turn. 

* Still, Jackson and his team are almost capture by a Union raiding party on the morning of the 8th in Port Republic. Just sayin'! 

* There will be an unfortunate slaughter of green NYers here. To which I say: I hope you enjoy both your legs while you've got'em, Isaac Trimble!

* Spoiler: this is also the battlefield where Maryland's infamous Talbot Boy's monument was relocated to. More on that below.

There are several phases of this battle. First, we begin here with the pre-battle burning of White House Bridge. Next, moving on to Union Church, where the fighting began early. Mid-day is when Trimble gets the New Yorkers in a different field, then his ravine action. We will finish with afternoon action at Artillery Ridge.

Just west of here is White House, a fortified stone dwelling constructed ca. 1760 during the Seven Years' War. Built in the Rhenish style, it was the home of Mennonite minister Martin Kauffman II, whose family arrived in the Shenandoah Valley in the 1730s. Kauffman later affiliated with the Baptists and helped establish a Mennonite Baptist Church, which likely met here. During a renovation ca. 1822, a second story was added to the house and notable Federal-style interior woodwork was installed. On 2 June 1862, during the Civil War, Confederate cavalry under Maj. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson burned nearby White House Bridge.

White House Bridge

Critical Crossing

— 1862 Valley Campaign —

On May 21, 1862, Confederate Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson’s Valley Army plodded north along this road to threaten Front Royal and outflank Union Gen. Nathaniel Bank’s position at Strasburg. With the addition of Gen. Richard S. Ewell’s division, Jackson’s command numbered nearly 17,000 men and 50 guns. Philip Kauffman, a young man at the time, remembered the Confederates as they crossed the Shenandoah River on the White House Bridge and: “...Stonewall himself as he ran the gauntlet, with bared head, through the marching columns of his ‘foot cavalry.’ His faded gray uniform with stars on the collar, his black beard and uncovered head, as he loped by the White House on Old Sorrel, are as fresh in my mind as on that day.”

Jackson’s Valley Army reached Front Royal May 23. There, aided by spy Belle Boyd, it overwhelmed Banks’ 1,000-man detachment and continued toward Winchester to attack the main Union army, now in full retreat from Strasburg. Jackson’s success was complete. He had defeated and driven Banks from the Valley and alarmed the Lincoln administration. In response to Jackson’s bold moves, a two-pronged Federal advance was to converge at Strasburg in an attempt to cut off Jackson’s line of withdrawal south.

Jackson marched south to escape. Two Federal columns followed in close pursuit—Gen. John C. Fremont on the Valley Pike and Gen. James Shields in the Page Valley. If Shields could march quickly enough to overtake Jackson's force in the main Valley, he and Fremont could unite and attack with a superior force. To prevent this combination, Jackson ordered his cavalry commander, Turner Ashby, to destroy both the White House and Columbia bridges. Ashby dispatched Capt. Samuel Coyner’s Page County Company which rode through “one of the most dreadful thunderstorms” in time to burn the White House Bridge at 4 a.m. on June 2—only one hour before Shields’ advance guard reached the swollen river. Shields, delayed for three days by the rising river, was forced to abandon his plan to join Fremont at New Market. Jackson defeated Fremont’s and Shields’ commands separately at Cross Keys and Port Republic June 8-9.

White House Bridge takes its name from the small building immediately north of the present-day bridge. This early structure was the first home of pioneer Martin Kauffman. For a time it served as a meeting house where, as a minister, Kauffman served a Mennonite congregation.

Look, it's a white house!

Shenandoah Iron Works

Page Valley Iron Industry

In 1836, brothers Daniel and Henry Forrer, in partnership with Samuel Gibbons, purchased land here for an ironworks and built a cold-blast furnace, called Furnace #1. Some 6,249 acres provided trees for charcoal, quarries and mines for limestone and ore, and crops to feed the workers. The Forrers later built Catherine Furnace near Newport and Pitt Springs and Furnace #2 on Naked Creek. Each furnace consumed an acre of wood per day for charcoal production to stay in blast. In September 1862, a black-powder mill, under the direction of local resident John Welfley, began operation just across the river.

During the Civil War, many thousands of troops marched along the Luray to Staunton Turnpike which entered Page County near Price’s Mill and ran along the river just west of here. In May 1862, Confederate Gen. Richard S. Ewell’s men passed by on their way to join Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson’s attack on Front Royal. About two weeks later, Union Gen. James Shields came by twice, en route to and retreating after the Battle of Port Republic.

Although Union soldiers devastated nearby Shenandoah Valley farms during “The Burning” in October 1864, they did not destroy any ironworks. Perhaps Union commander Col. William H. Powell, himself a Pennsylvania iron man, spared them.

Gotta catch'em all!

The Battle of Cross Keys

“It was not in men to stand such fire as that.”

—1862 Valley Campaign—

Following Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson’s victory at Winchester, Union troops pursued the Confederates south, “up” the Shenandoah Valley. While Gen. John C. Fremont advanced on the Valley Turnpike, another Union force, led by Gen. James Shields, pursued Jackson through the Page (Luray) Valley farther east.

Jackson took position at Port Republic, four miles east of you, to engage Shields, leaving Gen. Richard Ewell here at Cross Keys to hold back Fremont. Ewell posted his 5,000 men on a ridge overlooking Mill Creek, one mile to your right. The 15th Alabama Infantry regiment remained here at Union Church to give timely warning of Fremont’s approach.

Early on June 8, 1862, Fremont brushed aside the Alabamians. He posted 40 cannon in the fields to your front and began furiously shelling the Confederate position. Two hours later Fremont attacked, blindly throwing Gen. Julius Stahel’s brigade forward toward Ewell’s right. The 8th New York was slaughtered by Gen. Isaac R. Trimble’s Confederate brigade, which was sheltered behind a rail fence. Attacks against Ewell’s center and left achieved no better success.

Fremont withdrew here to the Keezletown Road. Ewell slipped away, joining Jackson on the banks of the South Fork of the Shenandoah River at Port Republic. The last battle of the 1862 Valley Campaign was fought there June 9, 1862.

So here's the tragic The Attack of the 8th New York Trail

https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=270127

The Slaughter of the 8th New York

"A Crash That Resounded Through the Woods"

—The Battle of Cross Keys (June 8, 1862)—

Midday

The fence line you see in the distance is the site of the "Slaughter of the 8th New York," the decisive action during the Battle of Cross Keys.

At the beginning of the battle, Confederate Gen. Isaac Trimble's troops manned the right end of the main southern line, a half mile to your right. But Trimble believed the fence topped ridgeline to your front was a stronger position, and marched his men forward to the fence; at the time, trees covered the ground in front of you, concealing Trimble's movement from Union eyes. Beyond the fence was open ground, providing an excellent field of fire.

Meanwhile, Union commander Gen. John C. Fremont planned for his main attack to hit the Confederate right—not realizing that Trimble had moved that right much closer. Gen. Julius Stahel's brigade undertook the assault, but of Stahel's five regiments, only one, the 8th New York—made up largely of German-born immigrants—made the actual attack.

The Federals neglected to put out skirmishers, so when they advanced into the open clover field north of the fence line, they were blind to what lay ahead. The Confederates waited until the attackers were only 40 yards away, then "rose swiftly on their feet. A sheet of fire ran along their line, followed by a crash that resounded through the woods." At point-blank range, the bullets tore into the Federals, with horrific effect. "The poor Germans fell all across each other in piles," recalled one Confederate.

Over 250 of the attackers were killed, wounded, or captured. The survivors retreated in disorder, and Trimble followed up with aggressive counterattacks, pushing the Federals northward. Fremont, unnerved by the disaster here and Trimble's aggression, pulled his entire line back to their original positions.

Lying in Wait

"A Bengal Tiger Ready to Spring"

—The Battle of Cross Keys 

(June 8, 1862)—

Midday

Confederate Gen. Isaac Trimble’s brigade were first positioned a half mile behind you. Unhappy with that ground, Trimble personally scouted ahead and found this strong defensive position behind a fence, with a field of clover in front. At the time of the battle the ground around and behind you was wooded, offering concealment for Trimble’s men.

Trimble moved his regiments forward through the trees and deployed them on this line. The 21st Georgia arrived first and laid down behind the fence. The 16th Mississippi deployed to the Georgians’ right, crawling forward on their “hands and knees” before poking “their guns through the fence.” The 15th Alabama moved to the far right, anchoring the line on a ravine, “concealed from the enemy’s view.”

The Union advance, led by the 8th New York Infantry, soon approached. Confederate skirmishers in the open ground fell back and joined the main line. The Federals themselves deployed no skirmishers, a costly mistake that meant they had no warning of the peril that lay ahead.

Col. James Cantey, commander of the 15th Alabama, told his men, “Hold your fire, boys, until you can see the white of their eyes.” Col. John Mercer of the 21st Georgia bluntly declared “that if and man fired before he gave the order to fire, he would have him shot.”

As the Union troops advanced, they marched into the depression in the ground in front of you and temporarily disappeared from view. “There we lay,” Pvt. William McClendon recalled, “as a Bengal tiger when he crouches down ready to spring upon his unsuspected prey.” When the northerners advanced out of the hollow and came back into view, they were mere yards to your front. The decisive moment of the Battle of Cross Keys had arrived.

The 8th New York Advances

"A Recipe for Disaster"

—The Battle of Cross Keys (June 8, 1862)—

Midday

Union commander Gen. John C. Fremont chose to make his main attack on this side of the battlefield, with hopes of outflanking the Confederate right and cutting off their line of retreat. Unfortunately, that flank had moved just 75 yards in front of you—a half-mile closer than where the Federals thought it actually stood.

In addition, while Fremont later said he gave "all the strength practicable" to make the assault, only a single regiment, the 8th New York Infantry, would make the actual attack—against three regiments of defenders. Although Union Gen. Julius Stahel, who was assigned to make the attack, had five regiments in his brigade, only one would make the assault. Three would be peeled off for other assignments, while the 45th New York stopped short, for reasons not officially accounted for.

That left only the 550 men of the 8th New York, out of an army with an official strength of 11,500, to make the key attack of the battle.

Like much of Stahel's brigade, the 8th was largely made up of German-born immigrants. Although the regiment had been at First Bull Run, they had been in reserve and took no part in the fighting. This would be their first real combat.

As they emerged out of the trees behind you, they exchanged fire with Confederate skirmishers, who hurried back to the main line. Many of the Germans mistakenly thought the southerners were fleeing. The inexperienced Federals had put out no skirmishers of their own, skirmishers which would have warned them of the trap ahead.

An outmanned unit, untested in battle, marching blindly into an ambush. It was a recipe for disaster.

Marching to Disaster

"A Single Regiment Storming"

—The Battle of Cross Keys (June 8, 1862)—

Midday

As the members of the 8th New York advanced, blind to the danger in front of them, the Confederates marveled at their precision. "The Germans came marching across the clover field in beautiful line..." one recalled. "The Colonel walk[ed] backwards in front of them, seeing that they preserved a perfect alignment just as though they were drilling." The Federals temporarily disappeared from sight as they advanced into the hollow behind you. As they emerged from the depression and marched past here, a member of the 21st Georgia said they appeared to be charging "over the crest of the ridge."

The colonel leading the regiment was Col. Francis Wutschel, whom some members of the brigade held responsible for the disaster that followed, accusing him of being drunk and attacking prematurely—which may explain why the 45th New York was not part of the assault.

"The whole battle plan and any chance of winning the battle was foiled by the precipitous actions of Colonel Wutschel..." wrote Corp. August Horstmann of the 45th New York. "Long before the battle was supposed to begin & without having any reserves behind him,this officer gave his regiment the command to attack (rumor has it he was drunk, & he now faces court-martial). They beat back the enemy pickets, and then they started singing "Hinaus in die Ferne" ["Let's Go Out into the Distance"] and went straight into a bayonet attack." Horstmann wondered what the defenders thought when "they saw a single regiment storming at them with their bayonets at charge and singing."

Marching in perfect formation, led by a drunken officer, and singing a German hiking song at the top of their voices, the regiment advanced towards the fence line.

Death in the Clover

"Lying on the Field as Thick as Black Birds"

—The Battle of Cross Keys (June 8, 1862)—

Midday

The members of the 8th New York were advancing jauntily across this clover-filled field when, reaching this point, the world suddenly turned upside down. "The thickets [behind the fence] stirred suddenly [and] southern riflemen rose swiftly on their feet," and "a sheet of fire ran along the line."

A wall of flame exploded in the faces of the shocked Germans and bullets tore into their bodies, mowing them down. Men on both sides were stunned. "I never saw men double up and fall so fast," Confederate Pvt. Ben Culpepper recalled. A watching Pennsylvanian described "murderous fire...bringing death and destruction." The Confederates poured out only a few volleys before the survivors fled, "going so fast down the hill you might have played marbles on their coattails."

Heavy smoke from the gray gunpowder covered the field. When it blew away, it revealed a horrific scene. "The dead and wounded yankees was lying on the field as thick as black birds," a Georgia soldier recalled. The Union advance had been quickly and devastatingly repulsed.

New York Times correspondent Charles H. Webb visited this ground in the morning after the battle. "The poor fellows lie around..." he wrote. "Some on the very spot where they fell, others propped up against the fences where they crawled to die... Many of them lie on their backs with their arms stretched [out] in the attitude of men who have thrown themselves on the ground to rest and suddenly sunk into slumber."

"Many of our wounded have lain upon the field all night... I am glad to learn that they have been kindly treated by the Southern soldiers. Two Germans have just told me how the latter came during the night, covered them over with blankets, brought them water, and in some cases washed their wounds."

So, stops 1-4 appear in the historical marker database, but somehow not this guy: stop #5 (or #6). That's dumb. I'm not adding them.

Battle of Cross Keys

Immigrant Soldiers

— 1862 Valley Campaign —

Many immigrants fought for the North and the South during the Civil War. Their numbers were especially high in Gen. Louis Blenker’s division of Gen. John C. Fremont’s Union army at Cross Keys on June 8, 1862.

Two Germans (Gen. Henry Bohlen and Col. John Koltes) and one Hungarian (Gen. Julius Stahel) commanded Blenker’s three brigades on this part of the field. Blenker and his lieutenants had been officers in European revolutions during the 1840s.

German, Swiss, Irish, English, Italians, Russians, Algerians, Sepoys, Turks, Frenchmen, Poles, Croats, Hungarians, and Chinese fought with Blenker’s “melting pot” division. One of Fremont’s staff officers, a Romanian, Capt. R. Nicolai Dunka, was killed delivering a message to the front here.

Most immigrants fought for their adopted country and lived here after the war. Others sought military experience so they could return to their native countries to fight in or command revolutionary armies.

Battle of Cross Keys

Walker’s Flank Attack

— 1862 Valley Campaign —

After repulsing the initial Union attack, Confederate Gen. Isaac R. Trimble’s brigade heavily engaged two brigades of Union Gen. Louis Blenker’s division near here on June 8, 1862.

During the afternoon fighting, Col. James A. Walker’s demi-brigade consisting of the 13th and 25th Virginia infantry regiments reinforced Trimble. Walker marched his men along the Goods Mill Road on the Confederate right flank in an effort to move around the Union forces facing Trimble. Walker’s first attempt to attack the Federal flank was disrupted when he marched into a forward movement by Trimble against Blenker.

Walker’s second attempt placed his regiments at a post and rail fence facing three Federal regiments and a New York artillery battery on rising ground. The fence provided little cover in the face of canister fire. Walker’s commander suffered 47 casualties before withdrawing to the cover of some woods.

A short time later, the Federal attack ended when the senior Union artillery commander, on this part of the field a captain, feared for the safety of his guns and ordered them withdrawn over the objections of field-grade and general officers. The infantry regiments, lacking artillery support, were then forced to retreat. Caption: Col. James A. Walker ended the war as a brigadier general commanding the famous Stonewall Brigade.

Battle of Cross Keys

Trimble’s Ravine

— 1862 Valley Campaign —

On June 8, 1862, Confederate Gen. Isaac R, Trimble led part of the 15th Alabama Infantry Regiment through the then-swampy ravine in front of you to attack Union Gen. Louis Blenker’s division. Trimble intended to move around the 54th New York Infantry Regiment on the rising ground beyond. He left the 21st Georgia Infantry, the 16th Mississippi Infantry, and the remaining portion of the 15th Alabama behind to make frontal assaults against the New Yorkers’ position.

At about the same time, the 54th New York withdrew from its position when it lost its artillery support after a senior Union artillery officer ordered all guns withdrawn. Trimble erroneously believed his maneuver had caused the Union force to retreat. Later, as night fell, Trimble pressed his superior, Gen. Richard S. Ewell, to continue the battle. Ewell denied Trimble’s request and explained that the army had accomplished what Stonewall Jackson desired: to make Fremont timid about advancing on June 9.

Trimble rode to Port Republic to plead his case to Jackson for continued fighting. Jackson also denied his request. The Battle of Cross Keys was over.

Gen. Isaac R. Trimble of Maryland was 60 years old at the time of the battle and was one of the oldest active Confederate general officers. The aggressive Trimble was wounded at the Second Battle of Manassas on August 1862. After returning to the army, he participated in the Pickett-Trimble-Pettigrew Charge on the third day at Gettysburg ,where he was wounded and captured. Trimble’s wound there cost him a leg.

Trimble! I pass [the site of] his house on my way to work!

And finally on to Artillery Ridge. The first few signs are for orientation purposes only, not actual historical markers. 

Well, well, well, if it isn't my own homegrown traitors. I would expect to find a monument to these losers on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, but was bemused to find one here. Turns out, this is THE Talbot Boys monument that was installed in 1906 in Easton and removed in 2002...because we aren't giving participation trophies to losers. It belongs here interpreting history, not being praised in the public square. The monument was obtained by the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation and relocated to [this] preserved property along Mill Creek Ridge on the Cross Keys Battlefield in Port Republic, Virginia. And that was the last Confederate monument on public land in Maryland. Oh, yes- Maryland, my Maryland!

Battle of Cross Keys

"A Position of Uncommon Strength"

— 1862 Valley Campaign —

On the morning of June 8, 1862, Confederate skirmishers of the 15th Alabama Infantry delayed Union Gen. John C. Frémont's advance near Union Church a mile north of here. Confederate commander Gen. Richard S. Ewell took the opportunity to establish his defensive line along this ridge behind Mill Creek. Frémont himself said that "The enemy occupied a position of uncommon strength," as the ridge bristled with infantry and artillery. A Union soldier described it as "an amphitheater of hills from which twice Frémont's force could not have dislodged him."

When the Alabama skirmishers pulled back from Union Church in the face of increasing Federal numbers, they made their way here, using the road trace in front of you to ascend the bluff. The Alabamians then marched east to join the next phase of the battle under Gen. Isaac Trimble.

Later in the day, Union Gen. Robert Milroy, the most aggressive of the Union commanders, attacked the Confederate positions here. Protected by artillery fire, Milroy advanced in column through a ravine to the heights opposite this ridgeline. Confederate artillery counterfire was stiff. A 25th Ohio Infantry soldier described "the crushing of timber by the dread missiles mingled with the unearthly yells of opposing forces and the dying and the screams of the wounded." Milroy suddenly received orders from Frémont, who was concerned about Confederate pressure on the other side of the battlefield, to withdraw. "I was never so astonished or thunderstruck in my life," Milroy later wrote, but he reluctantly pulled back.
