Lee's hopes of overwhelming General George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac in July, 1862. In late August, 1862 Lee took his revenge at the Second Battle of Bull Run. When Porter disobeyed orders on August 29, 1862 to throw his 10,000-man Fifth Corps against 25,000 well-entrenched Confederates, he was court-martialed. Near the end of his life, Porter, who died in 1901, worked with sculptor James E. Kelly to create his own monument. The Fitz John Porter monument in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, illuminates a mystery of American history.
