THE NORTH: Late on July 2nd Gregg's cavalry division is given orders to reconnoiter north through Gettysburg from the Union defensive line along Big Pipe Creek. By late afternoon on the 3rd the division travels through the Gettysburg area probing for signs of the rebel army. It encounters Confederate horse. One brigade has moved through Gettysburg along the Chambersburg Pike, while two are advancing on Fairfield. THE SOUTH: The Cavalry Division is tasked with the dual responsibilities of screening the army's shift to the Potomac and of divining the enemy's intentions if possible. By late on July 3rd the main body of the army has crossed the mountains and scouts along the length of the screen have been reporting the advance of Union horse for hours. Jenkins' brigade, covering the northern flank, withdraws toward Chambersburg well in advance of the Union troopers, while Imboden's and Rooney Lee's brigades have the lower passes of South Mountain well blocked and only skirmish. It is in the middle that the Confederate horse end up with a fight on their hands. With only hours to go before the sun sets the Union horse gets too close for comfort and the roads west must be defended. One brigade covers the Chambersburg Pike and three the route to Fairfield - and Hagerstown beyond.
