Despite victory in this affair, and moving toward New Market
Gap following the engagement, Torbert halted his command that night on the Page
County side of the Massanutten, thereby missing an opportunity to cut off
Confederate General Jubal Early's retreat from Fisher's Hill. Private Philip
Baybutt of the 2nd Massachusetts Cavalry received the Medal of Honor for
capturing a Confederate flag during the engagement. This action was part of
Sheridan's portion of the Valley Campaigns of 1864
