Civil War Cavalry
Lossing says:
" Banks had sent a force under General Geary to re-occupy Harper's Ferry as the first step toward seizing and holding the Shenandoah Valley. He took command there in person late in February, and with his force occupied the heights near the ferry; also Charlestown and Leesburg and other important points on each side of the Blue Ridge. ' Jackson, who had occupied places directly in front of Banks, was pushed back to Winchester, where he was posted with his division of nearly eight thousand men, when, early in March, Johnson evacuated Manassas.
