The '''Battle of Fair Oaks''' was a battle in the [[American Civil War]], which lasted from May to June, 1862. It happened when General [[Joseph Johnston]] made plans to stop the advancing armies of General [[George McClellan]]. The actual attack did little to change the positions of either army. During the engagement, General Johnston was wounded and General Gustavus Smith took brief command. President [[Jefferson Davis]] replaced him with General [[Robert E. Lee]]. <ref> [[Civil War: Battles and Leaders]], edited by Aaron R. Murray, DK Publishing Inc., 2004, pp. 34-35. </ref>
