Stuart's three brigades, after the affair at Boteler's Ford, picketed the line of the Potomac from the North Mountain to the Shenandoah, a distance of forty miles: Hampton's brigade at Hedgesville, Fitzhugh Lee's at Shepherdstown, Munford's at Charlestown, and headquarters near Leetown.
Most of them had followed Stuart in daring rides in the earlier months of that year, and all were ready to follow wherever he chose to lead. Darkness had fallen when they reached Hedgesville, the point on the Potomac where it was designed to cross.
