Hoke's Run WV002

supportedunresolved Jackson says he learned at about 7½ a.m. (read '7J' in OCR) from Stuart's note that the Federals were four and one-half miles in advance and found them where Stuart said. Patterson reports the enemy's claimed strength and his own estimate of it.

Knowledge as reported by each commander; no scouting record inspected.

supportedunresolved Jackson says he had his quartermaster move the baggage to the rear once he judged the enemy in force. Patterson says he halted at Martinsburg to bring up supplies, returning all his wagons for them, that provisions were limited and his transportation let him advance only a short way, and that his three-month volunteers' terms were about to expire.

Supply statements from the two commanders; no returns inspected.

supportedunresolved NPS says Jackson's orders were to delay the Federal advance only. Jackson says he was not to fall back unless the enemy were in force and advanced hoping to capture a small force or hold a large one until the baggage was loaded. Patterson says he meant to advance on Winchester once provisions arrived, or else abandon the country.

Stated aims from a summary and the two commanders.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen and live results read Union victory. NPS says the Union brigades drove Jackson's regiments back slowly and he withdrew before the larger force; Jackson says he fell back as his orders required, having accomplished his purposes; Patterson says he scattered the force and pursued. NPS's statements that Patterson's later retrograde freed Johnston and contributed to the defeat at First Manassas describe campaign contribution, not this engagement's tactical result.

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

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads 114 (US 23; CS 91); the live field reads 98 (US 73; CS 25). Patterson puts the Confederate loss at about sixty killed. Jackson quotes Harper's report of eleven wounded and nine missing and several believed dead, eight Union dead found, and Stuart's forty-nine prisoners taken with one of his own wounded and two missing.

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 The frozen commanders are Brigadier General Thomas J. Jackson and Major General Robert Patterson; the live page gives Jackson as Major General, and Jackson signs as colonel of Virginia volunteers. Jackson says he directed Harper's regiment and Pendleton's battery and ordered the withdrawal under his instructions; Stuart's cavalry captured a Pennsylvania company. Patterson reports the pursuit to Martinsburg.

Command roles from the two reports; no automatic sole credit and the live rank is not adopted.

No inspected return establishes matched personnel at a common opening boundary. The frozen side-specific numerical strength bounds are blank (missing_numeric_strength). No figure in this pass is adopted as a simultaneous opening force.

disputedunresolved The frozen force field reads Brigades; the live field reads zero. NPS says Abercrombie's and Thomas's brigades met regiments of Jackson's brigade. Jackson says only one regiment and one gun of his command were brought into action and quotes Harper that he carried 380 men into the fight. Patterson's July 3 dispatch says the force scattered the day before was 3,500 strong and that, reinforced by Bee at a point seven miles off, it was 'claimed in all to be thirty thousand ; in reality, thirteen thousand'; his July 4 telegram puts Johnston seven miles in advance with 15,000 to 18,000 foot, 22 guns and 650 horse.

Patterson's figures describe different populations and dates from Jackson's engaged regiment. None is adopted as a matched opening strength. The live zero is not measured absence. Patterson's July 3 and July 4 estimates of the force ahead of him differ and are not reconciled.

supportedunresolved NPS says Patterson crossed near Williamsport and marched on the main road to Martinsburg. Jackson describes skirmishing from a house and barn, an orchard on the left of the road, and Union troops advancing through fields in line and through woods as skirmishers to outflank him.

Ground from a summary and an interested report; no map inspected.
