Upperville VA038

supportedunresolved Stuart says it soon became evident that the enemy had brought a heavy infantry force to support his cavalry, and that Chambliss reported the enemy advancing in heavy force.

Attributed knowledge in Stuart's report; no inspected message log.

Equipment and condition statements from the Confederate commander's report; no inspected return.

supportedunresolved NPS says the Union cavalry made a determined effort to pierce Stuart's screen. Doubleday says the object of these movements, possession of Loudoun County, was attained.

Stated and claimed aims from a summary and an interested history.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen result reads Inconclusive and the live result Indecisive. Doubleday says Pleasonton drove Stuart steadily back into Ashby's Gap and then returned to Aldie; Stuart says the enemy did not attack the gap and retired the next morning.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads 400 total; the live field reads zero. No engagement-specific count is given in the inspected passages.

Original casualty returns were not inspected; preserve totals, categories, cutoffs and differences. No canonical reconciliation or casualty-based opening count; related actions must not be added without resolving population overlap. Stuart's loss of 65 killed, 279 wounded and 166 missing is for 'these operations': his Loudoun narrative from June 17 through the June 22 pursuit toward Aldie, including Aldie, Middleburg, Upperville, Hampton's action at Warrenton and the June 20 skirmishing beyond Goose Creek. It is not assigned to one engagement.

supportedunresolved Stuart says he had wished to attack but, the 21st being the Sabbath, determined to devote it to rest, and that he directed Hampton to withdraw whenever hard pressed. NPS says Hampton's and Robertson's brigades beat back Gregg at Goose Creek. The frozen commanders are Hampton and Robertson, Brigadier Generals, and Pleasonton, a Major General; the live heading ranks Hampton Lieutenant General.

Judgments and decisions are attributed; the frozen commanders do not receive automatic sole credit. The heading rank is not adopted.

supportedunresolved The frozen force field reads Divisions and the live field zero. Doubleday says Pleasonton advanced with his entire force and a brigade of infantry; Stuart says the Union cavalry was supported by a heavy infantry force, part of the Fifth Corps under Vincent.

No count is given; none is adopted. Live zeros are not measured absence.

supportedunresolved Stuart says his first position was of great strength against a force of ordinary size, that he fell back to the west bank of Goose Creek, and finally to the mountain gap west of Upperville. NPS says he took a strong defensive position in Ashby Gap.
