The cavalry fight that opened the afternoon of July 3, 1863, took place east of Gettysburg, where Union horsemen under Brig. Gen. David McM. Gregg and Brig. Gen. George Armstrong Custer met Confederate cavalry under J.E.B. Stuart. The clash came in the same hours that Pickett's Charge was being prepared on the Confederate side of the field to the west, and Stuart's attempt to strike the Union rear was turned back. Its outcome helped keep Lee's flank exposed and his cavalry out of the decisive infantry assault. Wartime pictures of the Gettysburg battlefield like this one are valuable because they show the terrain and the soldiers as they were in the aftermath.
