Fitzhugh Lee in The Guns of the South

When General Richard S. Ewell learned from Andries Rhoodie that U.S. General Hugh Kilpatrick intended to send raiders south toward Richmond, he dispatched a force under Fitzhugh Lee to Ely's Ford to lay in wait. Lee succeeded in surprising Kilpatrick, inflicting heavy casualties on the U.S. forces near Spotsylvania Court House.
