The battle opened the Shenandoah Valley to the destruction of its agricultural base. Following his defeat at Third Winchester, Gen. Early withdrew and took up strong defensive positions at Fisher's Hill, south of Strasburg. George Crook's Federal VIII Corps, hidden from Confederate view, moved along North Mountain to outflank the left of Earlyâs line.
