ZEE is Defeated in His First Field Action
Compiled by JOHN W. STEPP

Background

ID E. LEES command in western
~ Virginia was in two parts, more
than so miles apart and separated by
the kind of mountains, streams and
forest tangles that make foot soldier
miserable From a distance, Lee had
sadly noted the collapse of one of his
far flung wings at Carnifex Ferry.
.Bickering among the generals had been
the chief cause of that September 10
defeat In the ensuing days on his own
immediate wing, Lee took things into
his own hands. Not since the Mexican
War, 13 years before, had he been in
direct command of field forces. But he
was confident and he laid his strategy
with care.
His objective was Cheat Mountain,
high ridge dividing two forks of Cheat
River and crossed by the road from
Staunton to Parkersburg. The mountain
was manned by Federal detachment
Of Brig Gen. Joseph Jones Reynolds
of Kentucky. Lees plan was to stage
a frontal assault by troops under Henry
ROotes Jackson, while troops under his
personal direction cut off the position
from the rear. Surprise would be of the
essence.
