Sorry, Yanks. Thanks to the Putin-level strategic genius of McClellan, you won’t get Richmond for three more years.
BTW, the “famous” Turner Ashby (page 4) would not be captured at this time. He would die about a month later on June 6 near Harrisonburg while commanding the rearguard of Jackson’s retreating forces. My alma mater (James Madison University) had a building named in his honor, Ashby Hall, until 2020 when the BLM racists cowed the university administration into removing the names of Ashby, Stonewall Jackson, and Matthew Maury (the 19th century’s greatest American oceanographer) from buildings on campus. I’m still disgusted and haven’t given them a cent since.
