On Saturday, September 6, 1862, the Army of Northern Virginia was spread along the entire length of Buckeystown Turnpike to Frederick, camping in fields on either side of the road on the evenings of September 5 and 6, and by the next day most of the army was camped south of Frederick. As the Confederates passed through, they stripped nearby fields of green corn, and too much of it left many soldiers out of commission for several days with stomachaches that some called “Maryland’s Revenge.” Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson camped nearby at Three Springs, where Benjamin Moffet from a nearby farm presented him with a riding horse; according to Henry Kyd Douglas, after Jackson mounted, the horse reared and fell backward, leaving Jackson stunned, bruised, and injured in the back, so that he and Gen. Robert E. Lee, whose hands were injured and who could not yet ride his horse, were both being carried in ambulances. This fertile land was the first in Maryland to be planted primarily in wheat and corn instead of tobacco, and much of it belonged to descendants of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence, in an estate called Carrollton Manor that included more than 17,000 acres and was worked by more than 500 slaves.
