Employing audacity and rapid, unpredictable movements on interior lines, Jackson's seventeen thousand men march six hundred and forty-six miles (one thousand and forty kilometers) in forty-eight days and win several minor battles as they successfully engage three Union armies (fifty-two thousand men), including those of Nathaniel P. Banks and John C. Fremont, preventing them from reinforcing the Union offensive against Richmond.
The swiftness of Jackson's men earn them the nickname of "foot-cavalry".
