BATTLE OF GLENDALE (also known as Frayser's Farm, Nelson's Farm/ Crossroads, White Oak Swamp, Charles City Crossroads, New Market Road, Turkey Bridge, or Willis's Church) - (JUNE 30, 1862) --- HISTORICAL DAY 6 --- This represented the best chance for Lee to destroy a significant portion of the Army of the Potomac before it reached the safety of the James River. Converging columns along the Charles City, Darbytown, and River roads would be in position to cut off the large Union rear guard at Glendale and White Oak Swamp. Unfortunately for General Lee, the inactivity of the commands of Jackson and Huger, combined with the tenacious Union defense at Glendale, would once again thwart his plans for destroying the Army of the Potomac. Another narrow escape would set the stage for a bloody final battle atop the gentle slopes of Malvern Hill.
