On the morning of June 8, the division of Maj. John C. Fremont bore down on the Confederates under Maj. Richard S. Ewell near Cross Keys outside of Harrisonburg. A feeble advance from the Union left was beaten back with heavy losses.
With Fremont defeated, Ewell moved to assist Jackson with the defeat of another Union force at Port Republic the next day.
Rebel victories over two days weakened pursuing Union troops and enabled Jackson to support Gen. In an attempt to keep these forces from uniting, Jackson ordered the burning of numerous bridges along both rivers.
When he reached the end of Massanutten, where the mountain would no longer separate the Union columns, he decided to make a stand before they could unite against him. Turner Ashby was killed in a skirmish at Chestnut Ridge, just outside of Harrisonburg. He saw Port Republic, a small hamlet at the southern end of the Massanutten, as an ideal place to stand and fight.
By controlling the only bridges that spanned the South Fork here, Jackson could prevent the Union columns from combining, enabling him to strike at each separately. While preparing to engage Fremont at Cross Keys early on the morning of June 8, however, Jackson was surprised and almost captured by a Union raiding party at Port Republic.
