During the Chancellorsville Campaign, "Stonewall" Jackson moved along a woodland road here west of and parallel to the Brock Road. In the 1860's, no tar, asphalt, or cement highway existed, and even the best roads of the time, including stone turnpikes and plank roads, were inferior to present day gravel roads maintained by modern machinery. The trench remains here are part of the Federal line from the Wilderness operations of May 1864, a year after Jackson's march.
