Best Answer

During Lee's invasion of the North, his army, many marching barefoot, badly needed shoes. They learned of a shoe warehouse at the railroad junction of Gettysburg and went there to commandeer the shoes. There, they stumbled upon a small band of Union soldiers, who sent word to the main body that they had found Lee. A Battle of Encounter ensued that neither side had planned on.
