THE SOUTH: It's June 27th and the southern horse, probing east and south in support of the army's march into Pennsylvania, has occupied Emmitsburg. At mid day Union cavalry rushing north tries to push back the Confederate force. The sound of battle to the brings additional troopers to the aid of their brethren. A brigade moves west from the vicinity of Taneytown. And another - this time with the division commander in tow - responds from the Gettysburg area. THE NORTH: Word that the rebel army is already in Pennsylvania causes an abrupt shift in direction for the Army of the Potomac. Cavalry shifts from probing westward to covering the northern flank of the army. Near noon on June 27th a brigade makes contact with rebel forces near Emmitsburg. As soon as the Union troopers clash with their southern counterparts word goes out for assistance. Another brigade, moving towards Taneytown, responds almost immediately. The division commander, centrally located in support of his advance brigades, also responds.
