Battle of Falling Waters

On an early morning on July 2, 1861, The federals – Co. I, the 15th Pennsylvania Volunteers was left to rest while their Captain explored the road ahead. As they waited they stacked their arms and relaxed near the split rail fence awaiting his return.

As they rested, Suddenly a blue-clad Officer approached and ordered them to dismantle part of the fence to allow his passage. As they complied and the Officer gained the road he drew pistol and allegedly said “Surrender or your dead men”.
The Officer in blue-clad was Confederate Lt. Col. J.E.B. Stuart, along with members of his regiment closely behind.

Col. Stuart escaped with his 45 prisoners, and the results of his strategy was herald through the South as a brilliant affair.
