On September 17, 1862, following a forced march from Harper’s Ferry, Hill arrived just in time to blunt Burnside’s determined attack on the Confederate line and pushed back Union forces at the critical moment during the Battle of Antietam. Hill fought with distinction at the Seven Days Battles around Richmond and took command of Jackson’s forces at Chancellorsville following Jackson’s wounding. According to the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, at the time of Hill’s appointment as Major General, (shortly after Jackson’s death) Lee regarded him as the best soldier of that rank.
