37th Virginia at Port Republic

Howdy, was wondering if anyone knew of a place to find an account of the 37th pushing back over the bridge after Jackson's narrow escape. Thanks as always

Robert Tanner's Stonewall in the Valley discusses it (p. 292). It may not have as much detail as you want but the account is very well written.

I quoted it in this thread: https://civilwartalk.com/threads/the-kemper-home-port-republic.148757/#post-1869308

I think it was actually the 27th Virginia of the Stonewall Brigade - regardless, the most detailed account of the dual battles of Cross Keys and Port Republic are in Robert K. Krick's Conquering the Valley.

The charge that Sorah is asking about (on the bridge following General Jackson's narrow escape at Dr. Kemper's house) was on June 8 and was by the 37th Virginia.

My 5th great grandfather fought in the 37th and died shortly after this incident at Cedar Mountain.
