Garnett's and Golding's Farm''' (June 27-28): Small attacks by Confederates that were easily repulsed but continued to convince McClellan he was outnumbered.

'''
Savage's Station''' (June 29): General Magruder encountered the Federal rearguard, attempting to withdraw through White Oak Swamp. General Jackson could have easily supported the attack by crossing the Chickahominy at a ford, but instead chose to rest his men and rebuild bridges burnt during the Federal retreat.

'''
Glendale''' (June 30): Attempting to withdraw through the swamp, the Union army became bottlenecked; however, the Confederate assault was, like many during the Seven Days', uncoordinated. Jackson again failed to play a major part in the battle, moving slowly, and the major assaults, under Generals James Longstreet and A.P. Hill, lacked cohesiveness.

'''Malvern Hill''' (July 1): The Union Army held, and stayed at, a strong defensive position for the first time of the battle. Rather than attempting to manuever, Lee again assaulted the Union head-on, suffering sever casualties. Lee retreated to Richmond and McClellan succesfully completed his retreat to the James River.
