Trivia 10-22-15 - A predicament

[Trivia Master]

In 1863 JEB Stuart's cavalry were on a reconnaissance. They encountered and battled some Union troops but then found themselves sandwiched between two Union Corps. The Rebels, some 3000 troops, horses and equipment, hid in a wooded ravine overnight and sent for help. Within earshot of a Union bivouac, Stuart's men managed to evade detection. General Lee sent help and the next day a second battle occurred that ended in a stalemate. JEB Stuart's men escaped.
Give 1) the common name(s) for the two battles
2) what odd name did the Federals give the second battle?

[nextcity]

1) First and Second Battles of Auburn

2) Battle of Coffee Hill

 

[kholland]

1) First Battle of Auburn Brigades from Maj. Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren's II Corps fought a rearguard action against Stuart's cavalry and the infantry of Brig. Gen.Harry Hays's division near Auburn on October 13-14. Now this battle (the first battle and NOT the second was called "Coffee Hill" by the yankees because their morning coffee was interupted by Confederate artillery.

2) Bristoe Station. On October 14, Union soldiers of the II Corps, posted behind the Orange & Alexandria Railroad embankment, mauled two brigades of Maj. Gen. Henry Heth's division and captured a battery of artillery.


Edit - Though the Battle of Bristoe Station took place on the same day as the Second Battle of Auburn, Bristoe Station was a Union victory, while the Second Battle of Auburn was inconclusive. Thus, the Second Battle of Auburn fits the description of a stalemate, as stated in the question.

I agree that there is at least one source stating that it was the first, not the second battle of Auburn to which the Federals referred as "Coffee Hill."

Auburn
Other Catlett's Station, St. Stephen's Church
Location: Fauquier County
Campaign: Bristoe Campaign (October-November 1863)
Date(s): October 13, 1863
Principal Commanders: Maj. Gen. William. H. French [US]; Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart [CS]
Forces Engaged: Brigades
Estimated Casualties: 50 total
Description: After the retreat from Gettysburg, the Confederate army concentrated behind Rapidan River in Orange County. The Federals advanced to Rappahannock River in August, and in mid- September they pushed strong columns forward to confront Lee along the Rapidan. Early September, Lee dispatched two divisions of Longstreet's Corps to reinforce the Confederate army in Georgia; the Federals followed suite, sending the XI and XII Corps to Tennessee by railroad in late September after the Battle of Chickamauga (September 18-20). Early October, Lee began an offensive sweep around Meade's right flank with his remaining two corps, forcing the Federals to withdraw along the line of the Orange & Alexandria Railroad. On October 13, Stuart, with Fitzhugh Lee and Lomax's 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.

2) The Battle of Coffee Hill

 

[Reb]

First Battle of Auburn, Second Battle of Auburn. I find it apropos that I was drinking a cup of coffee when I gleaned the Fed's nickname as the Battle of Coffee Hill.

In 1863 JEB Stuart's cavalry were on a reconnaissance. They encountered and battled some Union troops but then found themselves sandwiched between two Union Corps. The Rebels, some 3000 troops, horses and equipment, hid in a wooded ravine overnight and sent for help. Within earshot of a Union bivouac, Stuart's men managed to evade detection. General Lee sent help and the next day a second battle occurred that ended in a stalemate. JEB Stuart's men escaped.

[Copperhead-mi]

1. Battle of Auburn and the Battle of Buckland Mills
2. I am not aware that the Federals gave the second battle an odd name but the Confederates called it the Buckland Races because the Confederates were "hootin and hollerin" as they chased the fleeing Federals all the way to Buckland.

Edit - Buckland Mills took place on Oct. 19, more than one day after the Battles of Auburn. It was a conclusive Confederate victory, rather than a stalemate.

1/Battle of Auburn

2/Battle of Coffee Hill (?)

Edit - I will give credit for this answer, since the question could be interpreted as asking for a single common name for the two battles, and they were both called "Battle of Auburn."
