The first day at Gettysburg, July 1, 1863, opened the largest battle ever fought on American soil. Confederate troops under Henry Heth moved toward the town that morning and ran into Union cavalry under John Buford, who held the ridges west of town long enough for Union infantry to arrive. By afternoon the fighting spread across fields, woods and the railroad cut north of Gettysburg, and Union forces were pushed back through the town to the high ground south of it. The day's fighting set the terrain and the lines for the three days that followed.
