The Battle of Monterey Pennsylvania was an engagement of the American Civil War that took place on July the 5th, 1863, just after the Battle of Gettysburg. While Robert E 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 railway train. The fight took place about midday, and the Confederates were defeated. Kilpatrick burned their train, captured their guards and resumed his march. Research Battle of Monterey
