Battle
On February 22, Union Army Major General George H. Thomas decided to probe Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston’s troops, to determine if the loss of two divisions to reinforce Confederate forces elsewhere had made them vulnerable to attack. After several days of intense skirmishing, Thomas’ army withdrew upon realizing Johnston could repel any assault.
