The task of defending this approach to Richmond fell to General John B. Magruder, known to his friends as “Prince John.“ Though he had his faults both on and off the battlefield, Magruder rose to the occasion in March 1862 and took immediate action to thwart, delay, and confuse McClellan’s operations. But would his superiors in Richmond send him the reinforcements he so desperately needed? Today’s video is part of an ongoing “On to Richmond“ series, where we follow the progress of George McClellan’s campaign up the Virginia peninsula to the gates of Richmond, 160 years later.
