Confederate infantry withdrew from their position west of Old Town, Maryland (across the river from Green Spring Depot) and were pursued by Federal cavalry. The cavalry cross the Potomac, passed through Okonoko, and eventually crested a hill north of Lowell's Cross Roads around 3:00 p.m. In the valley below was the town, a regiment of Confederate infantry, a few cavalry detachments or cavalry, and a Confederate commissary train unloading supplies.
The morning of Day 3 featured an engagement near Romney. The focus of the afternoon now shifts to the northern portion of the campaign theatre. Will there be action a the town of Lowell's Cross Roads?
