Brigadier General John Buford was the calvary officer at Gettysburg on July 1, 1863. He and his small brigade of dismounted troopers held off the Confederate Corps of General A.P. Hill for several hours until relieved by the Union 1st Corps of Major General John Reynolds. Buford was considered the hero of Gettysburg because of his defense against overwhleming forces. His health fell shortly afterward and he died in 1864 before the Civil War ended.
