How Six Bullets Turned Victory Into Rout at Miskel Farm

In this episode, we lay out the movements, decisions, and small accidents that set the stage for the skirmish at Miskel Farm on April 1, 1863. Listen to how preparations, a lone informant, and a string of choices create a do-or-die moment and ask whether the Federals could seize their advantage.

Date: April 1, 1863
Person: John Singleton Mosby
Location: Miskel Farm, east bank of Broad Run
Unit: Forty-Third Battalion Virginia Cavalry (Mosby's Rangers)
Federal commander: Captain Henry Flint

- A woman walks to Union Church around midnight and tells Major Charles Taggart where Mosby's Rangers are encamped.
- Major Taggart sends Captain Henry Flint with five companies of the First Vermont Cavalry to envelop the barnyard before dawn.
- Mosby quarters seventy exhausted Rangers in a fenced barnyard with water on two sides and only a single gate; no pickets are posted.
- One Ranger, Dick Moran, is asleep at a roadside house instead of in the barn for reasons not recorded.
- Flint orders a saber charge at the opening of the attack, setting off a chain of instantaneous decisions and accidents.
