On Monday, June 30th, 1862, Union forces from Major General McClellan's Army of the Potomac gather around the crossroads of Glendale, a key strategic position that the Confederates in General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia must seize if they are to cut off McClellan's retreat to the James River. To the north at 2:00 PM, at the Battle of White Oak Swamp, Confederate artillery batteries from Stonewall Jackson's Command duel with Union batteries across White Oak Swamp. Once the fighting around White Oak Swamp dies out around 4:00 PM, the much larger Battle of Glendale opens to the southwest between Confederates of Longstreet's and A. P. Hill's divisions and several Union divisions under George A. McCall, John Sedgwick, Philip Kearny, Joseph Hooker, Henry W. Slocum, and Israel B. Richardson. The fighting is a desperate, hand-to-hand affair, usually over control over Union cannons. Can McClellan succeed on the sixth of the Seven Days Battles in holding back the Confederates and maintaining control over Glendale and the crossroads that can provide his army's route of escape to the James?
