The Battle of Fairfield in Pennsylvania on July 3, 1863 was not specifically part of the Battle of Gettysburg. It was important however, as the Confederate cavalry's victory enable them to secure the Hagerstown Road. This in turn allowed General Robert E. Lee to more safely retreat to Maryland and southward to cross the Potomac River to the safety of Virginia.
