Where the Confederate General Winder was killed at Cedar Mountain. It was
while directing the movements of four advance batteries that General
Winder was struck by a shell, expiring in a few hours. Jackson reported:
"It is difficult within the proper reserve of an official report to do
justice to the merits of this accomplished officer. Urged by the medical
director to take no part in the movements of the day because of the
enfeebled state of his health, his ardent patriotism and military pride
could bear no such restraint. Richly endowed with those qualities of mind
and person which fit an officer for command and which attract the
admiration and excite the enthusiasm of troops, he was rapidly rising to
the front rank of his profession."
