General Kirby Smith Of the Army OF
the Shenandoah arriving with LOO

line now advanced to the charge. and
the combined attack upon the Federal
flank and front was decisive enough to
turn the tide of battle from uncertain

wavered and broke, fell back from the

and on toward the Bull Run fords. The
repulse became a rout, the rout grew
into an appalling avalanche OF defeat.

McDowelrs army. while not utilized
by the Confederates to its full MILL

into a feeling of strength and secu-
