The is a good as won for the union if they put George McClellan in charge. He was 2nd in his class at West Point and is a soldier’s soldier. He’ll spank that Bobby Lee hard!

Here again is the list of Civil War battles, through July 17.
By my count we've seen 22 engagements resulting in around 2,000 total casualties.

Winners: Confederates won four engagements in Virginia, no losses, the Union won six in West Virginia, one loss, in Missouri Confederates won three, the Union two.

At Corrick's Ford, CSA Gen. Garnett was killed.
At Scary Creek, CSA Lt.Col. George S. Patton (the father) was wounded.
