At the Battle of Cedar Mountain, deafening musketry, smoke, and flying leaves and bark accompanied fierce fighting marked by reckless valor and tenacious obstinacy. When Stonewall Jackson saw his panicked men streaming rearward, he rode forward, tried to draw his rusted sword, raised the sheathed blade over his head, seized a flag from a nearby color bearer, and halted in the woods crying, "Jackson is with you!" His men stopped, turned, and poured musketry into the advancing Federals. At that moment Confederate Gen. A.P. Hill's division reached the Crittenden Gate, and Hill drove his men into the fighting around Jackson without taking time to deploy. Tired, outnumbered, and nearly surrounded, the Federals retreated. As Confederate Gen. Richard S. Ewell's command advanced from the shelf of Cedar Mountain, Hill broke through a rearguard formed by the 10th Maine Volunteers, repulsed a final cavalry charge, and pursued the Federals until Union Gen. James B. Ricketts's reinforcements stopped the Confederates north of Cedar Run. Darkness ended the infantry battle with Jackson holding the field, though artillery fire continued until about 10 P.M. Banks's defeat led Pope to abandon his offensive toward Gordonsville, and Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee soon seized the initiative and defeated Pope's army three weeks later at the Second Battle of Manassas.
