Slaughter's house, overlooking the scene of carnage of Cedar Mountain,
stood on the northern slope in the rear of the position taken by the
Confederate troops under General Ewell. The brigades of Trimble and Hayes
were drawn up near this house, at some distance from the brigade of Early.
After the battle the whole of Jackson's army was drawn up on the slopes
near it.
