Jack's Shop Talk and Tour

Rochelle, (Madison County) Virginia
Harold Woodward, Jr., our own Madison County author and Civil War Historian, is presenting a talk and tour of the Civil War Battle named, Jack's Shop. Very little has been written about this momentous event that occurred here, within beautiful Madison County. Mr. Woodward has conducted his own personal research regarding this battle and will share this information on that day.
On Sept. 22, 1863 at Jack's Shop (today known as Rochelle), the Confederate Army (Horse Artillery & Calvary) under the command of J.E.B. Stuart was attacked on three fronts. A gallant but bloody battle followed--as a matter of fact, it was the largest Horse Artillery & Calvary engagement of the Civil Warafter Gettysburg! And it occurred here, in Madison County.
