Auburn

October 13-14, 1863
Also known as: Catlett's Station, St. Stephen's Church
Fauquier County, VA
Campaign: Bristoe Campaign

Maj. Gen. William. H. French and Maj. Gen. G.K. Warren, USA
Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart, CSA

Both sides had brigades in action.

There were under 200 casualties for the two days.

On October 13, Stuart, with Fitzhugh Lee and Lomaxï¿½s brigades, skirmished with the rearguard of the Union III Corps near Auburn. Finding himself cut off by retreating Federal columns, Stuart secreted his troopers in a wooded ravine until the unsuspecting Federals moved on.
The next day as the Federal army withdrew towards Manassas Junction, Owens and Smythï¿½s Union brigades (of Warrenï¿½s II Corps) fought a rearguard action against Stuartï¿½s cavalry and infantry of Harry Haysï¿½s division near Auburn. Stuartï¿½s cavalry boldly bluffed Warrenï¿½s infantry and escaped disaster. The II Corps pushed on to Catlett Station on the Orange & Alexandria Railroad.
