General Longstreet was indeed very upset with Jackson over this but Longstreet had no just finished The Valley Campaign, A campaign that is still studied at west point & other schools around the world. Longstreet had not just defeated 3 union armies with only 17,000 men & then went into a forced march across the state! Jackson & his men were physically & mentally exhausted! Jackson slept in the saddle for most of the forced march from the valley!

Let's also not forget that Jackson marched straight from his Shenandoah Valley Campaign, where he with 17,000 men completely humiliated General Nathaniel Banks' force of over 50,000, directly into the Peninsula Campaign. In the Valley, Jackson's forces marched 646 miles in 48 days then pushed straight towards Richmond. They were undoubtedly exhausted, which would explain why Jackson did not perform to his usual standards.

Ron Hawkins here is a friend of mine, and appears in my film with me, AVENEL THE MOTION PICTURE, where he meets my (fictional) character, Captain Beauregard, as an old friend from his days as a paymaster in Albuquerque, NM. he is a fantastic general Longstreet, and I am always in awe of his performances!

I agree, he was terrific.
