Shields was brought back wounded, having been struck by a piece of
shell. This placed Kimball in immediate command on the field, though
Shields, from his quarters in the rear, continued through the
remainder of this and the following day to receive information of the
situation, and, as far as he possibly could, direct the course to be
taken.
Between five and six o'clock the Regiment was ordered to the side of
the road and there laid through the night.
At the close of the day Jackson's whole force was about half way
between Winchester and Kernstown.
Again the error was committed in supposing that Jackson was out of the
way.
