East Cavalry Field:

While Confederate artillery pounded Cemetery Ridge near Gettysburg, another drama was unfolding three miles to the east. Union and Confederate cavalry had skirmished east of Gettysburg on July 2, and Union scouts on the Hanover Road were alert to any troop movements in that direction. The situation appeared quiet enough to allow some Union troopers to be ordered back to the Gettysburg battlefield. Just as the troops were about to depart, scouts spotted a cloud of dust to the north that appeared to get closer every minute. The tramp of hundreds of horse hooves and the rumble of artillery made the Northerners realize that trouble was indeed headed their way. It was trouble! General J.E.B. Stuart's Cavalry Division was ordered by General Lee to ride east and then south in an attempt to get into the rear of the Army of the Potomac, to disrupt and possibly cut the Union lines of communication. Anxious to prove himself after an embarrassing confrontation with the army commander, General Stuart set out that morning to ride around the Union flank and make amends, taking it out on the Yankee army the only way he knew how: show up where the Union troops least expected him.

A true cavalier in every sense of the word, General Stuart was one of the more flamboyant horsemen in either army. Following closely behind his advance scouts, Stuart led his horsemen down unfamiliar county roads and farm lanes until they came upon a thick wood at the Rummel Farm. South of his position, General Stuart spotted Union artillery being unlimbered on a small knoll. Beyond the artillery rose clouds of dust and Stuart quickly realized that he had been spotted. Ordering his artillery forward, Stuart decided to use Rummel's Woods to protect his troopers until he could determine the size of the force in his front. Meanwhile he deployed dismounted troopers into the Rummel Farm to engage Union skirmishers already post ...More...

1998 photos: Since 1984, I've lived in Silver Spring, Maryland. From 1981 to 2002, photos were taken using a Pentax ME Super camera. From 1989 to 2002, I was doing all pictures as prints (instead of slides which I had grown up on). In 1997, at the age of 40, my photo obsession began and I started taking thousands of photos per year. In September, 2002, I switched to digital cameras and the number of photos exploded. Trips this year: More Civil War touring (Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee), a work trip to Chicago and Louisiana, and family visits to Michigan and North Carolina. Image quality for my pictures is variable because these are scans of slides and/or prints at varying quality/resolutions. The Great Pandemic Digitizing Project: When I was first setting up my website in August, 2000, I had decided to digitize some of my favorite pre-digital slides and prints. The scans were fairly low resolution but they were good enough. With COVID forcing me to stay indoors, I decided to rescan ALL of my pre-digital images from multiple sources (slides, prints, and negatives) at a much higher resolution and quality setting. (I digitized Dad's slides at the same time). Instead of replacing my original scans, I added the new scans to existing pages, figuring I'd select the best ones later. As a result, multiple versions of images appear on most of these early pages. At some point, I'll take the time to do a final review and get rid of the duplicates.
