At a road juncture at the Catharine Furnace (The remains are shown
in this 1999 photograph) Jackson's troops turned south, re-enforcing
Hooker's opinion that Lee was retreating. Later, a battle between
Hooker's forces and Jackson's rear guard took place near here.

Wellford House & Land - 1863 (P)
Wellford Location - 2006 (P)
Charles C. Wellford, proprietor of Catharine Furnace, provided his son,
Charles, to guide Jackson's flanking attack via a route not visible from
the Union lines.
As Jackson's troop marched past the Wellford home, and the rattle of
approaching Union battle lines neared, they fled into the woods
and returned several days later to a damaged house.
