Manassas Gap VA108

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Ewell found Wright's brigade holding the pass and the head of the Union column advancing through the gap; Lee says Ewell found Wright skirmishing with Union infantry already in the gap.

Attributed knowledge from an interested history and the Confederate commander; no inspected message log.

supportedunresolved Lee says the Shenandoah was found impassable when the army meant to move into Loudoun, and that Longstreet passed part of his command over the Shenandoah, the rest of his corps crossing once a pontoon bridge could be laid; Humphreys says the Union dispositions cut Lee off from Loudoun's farming country.

Movement and supply statements from the Confederate commander and an interested history.

supportedunresolved NPS says Meade ordered French to cut off the retreating Confederate columns at Front Royal. Lee says Wright's brigade was left to hold Manassas Gap until Ewell arrived.

Stated aims from a summary and the Confederate commander; no inspected orders.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen result reads Inconclusive and the live result Indecisive. Lee says the enemy was held in check and Ewell then withdrew through Thornton's Gap; Humphreys says Ewell fell back to Front Royal and moved up the Shenandoah 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 440 total; the live field reads zero. Humphreys says the Excelsior brigade inflicted a severe loss in killed, wounded and prisoners, without a count.

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.

supportedunresolved NPS calls the Union attacks poorly coordinated. Humphreys says the Excelsior brigade under Spinola charged and drove its opponent back with severe loss. Lee says Ewell supported Wright with Rodes's division. The frozen and live commanders are French and Anderson, both Major Generals.

Judgments are attributed; the frozen commanders do not receive automatic sole credit.
