When Federal commanders sent troops from the Valley to reinforce Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Petersburg, only a small Union force under the command of Gen. George Crook remained in Winchester. Under orders to keep pressure on the Federals, Confederate Gen. Jubal A. Early marched north and attacked Crook at Kernstown, overwhelming and routing the defenders. This was the last major Confederate victory in the Valley.
