Called "Fair Oaks" by
the North
. Heavy rains on the 29th and 30th had swollen the
Chickahominy river
to the point where most of the bridges were washed out, and the weaker left side of General
George B. McClellan
's
Union
forces was isolated. On the 31st
Joseph E. Johnston
, under the lash of
Jefferson Davis
, attacked.
The attack was a
disaster
.
James Longstreet
's division marched the wrong way and fouled the advance of two others, and the other attacks bogged down in mud with small gains that were beaten back the next day.
Joseph E. Johnston
's wounds late on the 31st were a blessing in disguise, as
Robert E. Lee
was placed in charge, and immediately broke off the faltering offensive.
Scrape the mud off and march to the
Seven Days
.
