Gordon to take his own, Ramseur's, and Pegram's divisions round through the woods along the base of Massanutten Mountain, and to cross by two fords the Shenandoah, rush upon Crook's men before daylight, and capture or disperse all who were not killed in the attack. The 1 8th was a superb specimen of an autumn day, warm in the sun, clear and still. As soon as the sun was well down, Gordon commenced his march. The men took nothing but arms and ammunition with them ; even their canteens were left,... because likely to make a noise and discover the march. Through woods by paths known only to the natives, this wonderful march would have been impossible to any but men used to the country, and confident in their officers and their luck. Five o'clock, October 19th, found all the expeditionary troops in their places, ready for the attack. The sun rose at about 6.15. Kershaw^ was in his place, and Early himself, with all the artillery ^ Kershaw was added to the attacking force by Early, and joined him by marching through Strasburg and crossing Cedar Creek near its mouth.
