With an intense heatwave baking the Virginia countryside on Saturday, August 9th, 1862, Stonewall Jackson's Left Wing engages Nathaniel P. Banks' II Corps, Army of Virginia, in open battle south of Culpeper near a tall rise known as Cedar Mountain. Jackson's three divisions are strung out for miles on the dusty roads, and he commits them into battle as they arrive one-by-one over the hours. Banks takes the opportunity to strike Jackson's lines while they're still forming, and his division and brigade commanders succeed in making lodgments in the Confederate battle line. Will Banks be able to avenge his defeat at Winchester and win a major victory against Stonewall Jackson? Or will Jackson seize the moment with the timely arrival of Confederate reinforcements? Only time will tell in this battle near Cedar Mountain, ominously known by it's alternative name: "Slaughter's Mountain."
