Here, July 5, 1863, just after the battle of Gettysburg, while Lee was in full retreat from that battlefield, one brigade of his army was overtaken by Kilpatrick, commanding two National brigades. The Confederates were under Jones, and were on board a railroad train. The fight took place about midday, and the Confederates were defeated. Kilpatrick burned their train, captured their guards and resumed his march.
