Daz was joined by historian and battlefield tour guide Aaron Siever of Aaron’s Civil War Travels to discuss the Battle of Cross Keys.
The Battle of Cross Keys was fought in Rockingham County, Virginia, as part of Confederate Maj. Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson’s legendary Shenandoah Valley Campaign during the American Civil War.
The battle saw Jackson’s forces clash with Union troops under Maj. Gen. John C. Frémont. Together with the Confederate victory at Port Republic the following day, Cross Keys marked the decisive triumph of Jackson’s Valley Campaign — forcing Union armies to retreat and allowing Jackson to move his army east to reinforce Gen. Robert E. Lee ahead of the Seven Days Battles outside Richmond.
