Third Battle of Winchester
Here Early, facing east, received the attack of Sheridan's army, at noon on September 19, 1864. Early repulsed the attack and countercharged, breaking the Union line. Only Upton's prompt action in changing front saved the Unionists from disaster. At 3 P.M., Sheridan made a second attack, driving Early back to Winchester.
