ding, ding, ding, correct!

The Confederates advanced on the Telegraph Rd., while the Union Calvary advanced along the Mountain Rd. The intersection of those two roads was destined for a battle. J.E.B. Stuart was killed at the Battle of Yellow Tavern. In a complete failure to preserve the site, the area has long since become overgrown by the Richmond suburbs. A Walmart stands near that site today.
