Lee invaded Maryland with three army corps, commanded respectively by Generals Jackson, Longstreet, and Hill. Jackson was to march directly for Harper s Ferry, while Hill and Longstreet were entrusted with the responsibility of watching and holding in check General McClellan in any effort he might make to protect the Federal force at Harper s Ferry. General McClellan had only been reinvested with command twelve days when this movement on Lee s part was made. To keep McClellan from reaching Harp...er s Ferry, Longstreet was directed to march directly to Hagerstown, in Maryland, and there to wait until McClellan s movements should develop. Immediately General McClellan moved his entire force in the direction of the mountains which Lee suspected he would, and to provide for which Lee sent General D. H. Hill to check him. Hill s instructions were to hold a certain point at all hazards until Jackson had reached Harper s Ferry. That point is known as Boonsboro Gap. At this place a severe battle occurred.
