On August 13, 1781, about a mile to the east, Lafayette, then commanding American forces in Virginia, placed in camp his militia, consisting of Campbell's, Stevens' and Lawson's brigades. Wayne was at Westover; Muhlenberg and Febiger were in camp on the Pamunkey four miles northwest. The Yorktown campaign was about to open, and these troops were later engaged there.
