 Battle Report OF GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN- Robert E Lee
BATTLE OF WINCHESTER The enemy was driven in on both roads, and our troops halted in line of battle near the town on the evening of the i3th.
The result of this day's operations induced the belief that with proper concert of action, and with the increased support that the positions gained on the right would enable the artillery to render the assaulting columns, we should ultimately succeed, and it was accordingly determined to continue the attack.
Longstreet, reinforced by Pickett's three brigades, which arrived near the battle field during the afternoon of the 2d, was ordered to attack the next morning, and General Ewell was directed to assail the enemy's right at the same time.

 South Mountain: Three Gaps, One Battle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
But to make the allegation that the “battle” of Crampton’s Gap was the sole clear-cut campaign victory and strategic pivot of the entire Maryland Campaign belies a misunderstanding of both the tactical and strategic situations by the end of the day on September 14, 1862.
The Battle of Gettysburg, in early July 1863, has traditionally been referred to as the "High water mark of the Confederacy." Although it certainly was the high water mark of the Army of Northern Virginia, Lee’s movement north in the late summer of 1862 better fits the metaphor for the Confederacy as a whole.
The Battle of South Mountain may well indeed be the turning point of the Maryland Campaign of 1862, and the campaign quite possibly a pivotal event of the war, however, a fulcrum with half of the lever removed doesn’t work.

 National Sporting Library - NSL Collection Highlights - The Cavalry Battles of Aldie, Middleburg, and Upperville by ...
"Sandwiched between and overshadowed by the larger battles of Brandy Station and Gettysburg, the battles of Aldie, Middleburg and Upperville were forgotten even by the veterans." So begins the introduction to The Cavalry Battles of Aldie, Middleburg and Upperville, by Robert F. O'Neill Jr..
And it holds particular significance for the NSL since it was his reading of this book that inspired the late Paul Mellon to commission the bronze war horse statue that stands in front of the Library and memorializes the 1.5 million horses and mules killed or wounded during the war.
Acquired in 1994, O'Neill's book is part of a cavalry collection at the NSL that offers a number of works on the Civil War, as well as those concerning cavalry from ancient times to World War II.
