Civil War Re-Enactment

The Battle of Kellys Ford Virginia.

It was the ""first real, and perhaps the most brilliant, cavalry fight of the whole war" and it set the stage for other cavalry actions of the Gettysburg Campaign that summer. 2100 troopers of Gen. W. W. Averell's Union cavalry division crossed the Rappahannock to attack the Confederate cavalry that had been harassing them that winter. Brig. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee counterattacked with a brigade of about 800 men. Union forces withdrew under pressure in late afternoon, without destroying Lee's cavalry.


Enjoy and thanks for watching

The 'song' that is playing is called 'Greensleeves' It was written by King Henry VIII, and was a personal indulgence - who was going to tell HIM it wasn't very good! ;-)
