Jackson Beats Feds in Fierce Battle
'The South has a new hero today in General Stonewall Jackson. The fiery leader led the Southern troops to a sweeping victory at Cross
Keys, earlier today. It appears that Jackson is picking up strength and momentum as he heads toward General Lee. The Confederate
general turned back John Fremont's efforts to halt the progress of the South in a hard-fougt costly battle. The Northern soldiers
attacked without warning and the element of surprise gave them the first edge. Men and horses fell to the ground as a rain of bullets
lashed out at the Southern troops. Rallying quickly however, the Confederate fighters rapidly gained control of the situation.
Retreat was only means of escape for Union soldiers, leaving Jackson with another victory.'
