The Battle of Cedar Creek was fought on these hills and fields on October 19, 1864. General Jubal A. Early's 22,000 Confederates attacked General Philip H. Sheridan's 60,000 Federals. The first assault, a surprise flank movement by General John B. Gordon, was a Confederate success. This advantage not being followed up enabled General Sheridan to rally and win the victory.
