McClellan's army was 92,500 strong, on June the 26th; Lee's forces numbered 80,762. On June the 26th, A P Hill, with 30,000 Confederates, defeated and drove the Nationals from Mechanicsville. On June the 27th, Longstreet, Jackson and Hill, with 55,000 Confederates, attacked and routed 25,000 Federals under Porter at Games' Mills on the Chickahominy. Porter crossed the river to Savage's Station, where he defeated Magruder on June the 28th. On June the 29 and 30th, the Federals were again defeated at Frayser's Farm and White Oak Swamp.
