Following the Battle of Gettysburg, Confederate forces were withdrawing south through Pennsylvania and Maryland, and on the afternoon and evening of July 4th, and the early morning hours of July 5th, in darkness and heavy rain, these forces met again in the hills, woods and steep ground of Monterey Pass near the Mason Dixon Line.
Our CWRT took a day field trip to this fascinating site just East of Waynesboro on June 8th.
Thank you Claire for coordinating another gem of a day!
