At dawn on July 1, 1863 the early troop movements saw Confederate General Heth' division marching towards the town of Gettysburg. Badly needed supplies were needed and Heth believed the road he was taking would not be highly defended. Instead he ran into 3,000 mounted Union infantry. This forced Heth's retreat.
