Unidentified people relaxing at Painters (Panther) Cove on Cedar Creek near Strasburg. This remote area is best accessed by canoe or kayak. The name, "Painters" is a corruption of "Panthers" as panthers formerly frequented the cavities and are still called "Painters" in some areas. During the Civil War, Sheridan's troops occupied the bluff above the caves for a time before the Battle of Cedar Creek.
Identified by Tracy McMahon and Zach Hottel.
Painters Cove appears in Morrison Studio Collection numbers 003781 and 003782.

The name, "Painters" is a corruption of "Panthers" as panthers formerly frequented the cavities. The word, "Panthers", is still pronounced, "Painters" in some areas.

Photograph of the "Red Banks" home located halfway between Edinburg and Mount Jackson on Route 11. This stately home was remodeled about 1900. A hundred years ago (1927) a post office was kept here; and for many years it was a favorite stopping place for travelers on the highway, north and south. During the Civil War, in the spring of 1862, Stonewall Jackson's army camped several times at Red Banks -- "Camp Buchanan" was the name of this camp. It is probable that the famous Stonewall lodged in the old mansion at Red Banks on these occasions. If so, one may be curious to know whether he was aware that Andrew Jackson had been a guest there a few years earlier.
