True. Despite the fact that Stonewall Jackson had won a resounding victory against Banks at Winchester exactly two months before the date given in the question, on May 31 he left Winchester and Banks entered the city on June 4, 1862, keeping it under Union control till early September, 1862.

Edit - Correct, Civil War Scholar. Welcome to the trivia game and to CivilWarTalk.

Hope you'll come back and play again.
