Additional Description: Just past the church, the road takes a sharp bend. At the time of the Civil War, stone walls bordered the road. Near this point, a detachment of Mosby's Rangers under Major Adolphus "Dolly" Richards ambushed a Federal detachment. In a close quarters, and rather violent action, 13 Federals were killed and 63 captured. One of the Rangers was wounded.
