Yesterday, I visited Kernstown Battlefield located in Winchester, Virginia, and saw some incredible sites that I wanted to share!

The first Battle of Kernstown occurred on March 23, 1862. Here, Confederate General Stonewall Jackson believed the Union troops numbered roughly 3,000 men, but upon arrival he found there were, in fact, approximately 9,000 Union troops awaiting him and his men! It was, no doubt, a Union victory that day.

The second Battle of Kernstown was fought on July 24, 1864. This battle involved Confederate Generals Jubal Early, Gordon and Breckenridge, who utterly defeated the Union Army. This time, it was a resounding Confederate victory.
