White House Bridge was located west of Luray, Virginia over the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. During the American Civil War, on 2 June 1862, Stonewall Jackson's cavalry chief Turner Ashby burned this bridge to slow down Federal pursuit of their forces. The battles of Cross Keys and Port Republic were fought a week later. Earlier that year, during April and May 1862, the steamer Corwin with Thomas Stowell Phelps in command, had stopped Confederate forces from destroying the bridge.^[1]
