|
The Battle of Hanover took place on June 30, 1863 in York County, Pennsylvania as part of the Gettysburg Campaign of the American Civil War.
Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuarts cavalry, which was riding north to get around the Union army, attacked a Union cavalry regiment, driving it through the streets of Hanover. Brig. Gen. Farnsworths brigade arrived and counterattacked, routing the Confederate vanguard and nearly capturing Stuart himself. Stuart counterattacked. Reinforced by Brig. Gen. George A. Custers brigade, Farnsworth held his ground, and a stalemate ensued. Stuart was forced to continue north and east to get around the Union cavalry, further delaying his attempt to rejoin Lees army which was then concentrating at Cashtown Gap west of Gettysburg.
