June 6, 1862 - Confederate forces under Richard S. Ewell move from Harrisonburg south toward Cross Keys. In a skirmish with Union troops under John C. Frémont, the thirty-three-year-old Confederate cavalry general Turner Ashby—a dark-complected, myth-encumbered figure who is known as the "Black Knight of the Confederacy"—is killed.
