CONFEDERATE CAVALRYMEN SKIRMISH AT HANOVER : JUNE THIRTIETH 1863 On the 30th of June in 1863, as the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia continue to march north in Pennsylvania, General Stuart leads his cavalry corps in a battle at Hanover, Pennsylvania. Southern cavalrymen engage union cavalry forces under Kilpatrick at Hanover and the fighting becomes very fierce. At one point as the federals are attacking, they come extremely close to captur- ing General Jeb Stuart himself. After hours of heavy cavalry fighting, the federals report nine- teen men killed, and 73 men wounded or missing in the action. In the battle southerners lose only nine men with 50 being wounded. Somehow 58 men were listed as missing. This event is only an op- ening volley to Gettysburg which is only hours away. Did anyone's ancestor participate in this Hanover Battle?
