The last phase of the battle occurred in the fields and orchard around the
Thomas McKay home, "Fairview." Kenly rallied his infantry and ordered the
5th NY to charge advancing Confederate cavalry of the 6th Virginia from
the position shown on the road. The New Yorkers offered no resistance,
panicked and ran over their own infantry as they retreated northward
The remaining federal troops surrendered. Federal losses were 904 killed,
wounded and captured. The battle opened Jackson's way to Winchester and
gave him an opportunity to destroy Bank's army in the valley
