Seven Pines (1862)
n On May 31-June 1 in a County named
Henrico of Virginia General Joseph E. Johnston (confederate) Launched an attack on two Federal corps that seemed to be cut off from the rest of the Union. The attack, though not planned very well, succeeded in driving back the corps and caused great casualties. Reinforcements arrived on both sides of the battlefield.
n The Federalists got their footing back and seriously wounded General Johnston. Command of the Confederate troops switched temporarily to Major G.W. Smith. The last day proved a draw and both sides claimed victory.
