    Namesake
    Chickahominy - Chickahominy, a tributary of the James River in Northern Virginia. The Seven Days' Battles (June 25 - July 1, 1862) spanned a five-mile stretch of the Chickahominy. Here a succession of battles occurred in which Lee's Confederate army forced that under General McClellan's Union army to abandon its threatening position east of Richmond and retreat to the James River. Discovering that his adversary was retiring on the James, Lee hurried columns to Frayser's Farm. Here his desperate assaults on June 30 failed to interrupt McClellan's retreat, while at White Oak Swamp Jackson was equally unsuccessful in crushing his rear guard. Lee's final attack at Malvern Hill suffered decisive repulse. Losses for both sides totaled 35,000 men, many of which were victim to drowning in the Chickahominy during night crossings.
