Circles were added by TwoScarsUp based on mentions in the book "The Last Battle of Winchester: Phil Sheridan, Jubal Early, and the Shenandoah Valley Campaign, August 7-September 19, 1864." by Scott C. Patchan. Blue circles were held by the Union at the beginning, while red were held by the Confederates.
