Gen.
David Hunter reached the outskirts of Lynchburg, VA June 17, 1864,
hoping
to capture the important supply and hospital center. Hunter's advance
on Lynchburg followed a decisive victory over Confederates at Piedmont
in the Shenandoah Valley two weeks earlier. Following Piedmont, "Black
Dave" then occupied Lexington - burning the Virginia Military Institute
- before turning east.
Seeing the threat, Robert E. Lee rushed Gen. Jubal Early to the scene. Arriving just in time, Early turned back Hunter after fierce fighting on June 18. Hunter retreated all the way into West Virginia. Early then launched his own campaign that ended finally in the suburbs of Washington DC.
