The Confederate Invasion, June–July 1863
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter describes the Army of Northern Virginia’s incursion into Pennsylvania in the summer of 1863. As generations of historians have recorded, the Battle of Gettysburg was a “meeting engagement,” meaning that neither side had planned to fight there at that time. Even so, Gettysburg was a natural point for the collision to happen. It had strategic importance thanks not only to its location at the hub of the region’s road network but also because of the railroad to Harrisburg which provided a supply route for the Union Army, and this was why Confederate control of the town after the first day was potentially threatening.
