Summary of Events: As Federal troops crossed the Potomac River at Falling Waters and were moving towards Hainesville, Col. J.E.B. Stuart led the 1st Va. Cav. in an attack on the Federal right flank. The attempted turning movement was prevented by Federal infantry. Afterwards, the 1st Va. Cav. captured 49 members of the 15th Pa. Inf. who mistook Stuart for one of their own officers. When members of the 15th Pa. Inf. realized their mistake, three resisted capture and were shot. The only casualty of the day was Pvt. Martin V. Palmer of Co. E (The Valley Rangers). Later a contingent of Co. E under Lt. William B. Gallaher destroyed the B and O Railroad Bridge spanning Cherry Run, which is to the north and west of Martinsburg.
