Battle of Kettle Run

At this very point on Aug 27th, 1862, was fought the retrograde action as part of Jackson's Corps as it moved up this rail line to pillage and burn the Union trains and massive supplies at Manassas Junction. Afterwards Jackson retired to defensive positions north of Manassas and then with the remainder of Lee's ANV defeated the Army of the Potomac. This was a text-book envelopment. Polk, out of food and whipped, retired to Washington--whereupon Lincoln relieved him of his command. See battle summary here
