BATTLE OF MONTEREY

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.
