On May 28, 1864, Confederate Gen. Wade Hampton's cavalry engaged Union Gen. David Gregg's calvalry in battle on this field about one mile south of the crossroads at Haw's Shop (nears where Studley Store is today). After a five hour stalemate the seven hour battle ended in a Union victory with the arrival of Gen. George Custer, resulting in 365 Union casualties and 380 Confederate casualties. Among the Union losses included the mortally wounded John Huff, credited by some with fatally shooting JEB Stuart at The Battle Of Yelow Tavern about two weeks earlier.
