Third Battle Of Winchester
Here Confederate forces under General Jubal A.
Early, facing east, received the attack of Sheridan's
army at noon on September 19, 1864. Early
repulsed the attack and countercharged, breaking
the Union line. Only prompt action by General
Emroy Upton in changing front saved the Union
forces from disaster. At 3 P.M. Sheridan made
a second attack, driving Early back to Winchester.
