 At first , Magruder 's units were behind Stonewall Jackson 's column while marching down the Long Bridge Road , which led to Malvern Hill . Along this road were several adjoining pathways . One such road , called the Willis Church Road by some locals and the Quaker Road by others , led south from Glendale to Malvern Hill . Lee 's maps labeled this " Quaker Road " . Another of these paths began near a local farm and angled southwest toward an upriver point on the River Road — some locals called this the Quaker Road , including Magruder 's guides , who led Magruder 's army down this road rather than the Quaker Road shown on Lee 's maps . James Longstreet eventually rode after Magruder , and persuaded him to reverse course . This incident delayed Magruder 's arrival to the battlefield for three hours .
