1st skirmish at Gettysburg
Jun. 24th, 2007 03:09 pmWhile checking on the status of the director's cut of Gods and Generals - summary: no, it was never released, and nobody knows why - I ran across a reference to a formation in Pennsylvania during the Civil War named the Department of the Susqueanna which basically organized the militia resistance in front of the Confederate advance during the Gettysburg campaign...which led me to a writeup of the first skirmish at Gettysburg, which was basically around 700 PA militia getting swept aside by Jubal Early's advance guard, about a week before the actual battle of Gettysburg.
