Fought at the outset of the Gettysburg Campaign, the Second Battle of Winchester was Richard S. Ewell's first battle as a corps commander. Robert H. Milroy commanded the Union division occupying Winchester, thus blocking the Confederates' route into Pennsylvania. Larry B. Maier chronicles not only the battle but also Milroy's occupation of Winchester and Milroy's personality which compelled him to fight against overwhelming odds.
