Hanover, battle at.
General Meade's cavalry, during Lee's invasion of Maryland, before the battle of Gettysburg (q. v.), was continually hovering on the flanks of the Confederate army.
The most dashing of the cavalry officers of that time were Colonels Kilpatrick and Custer.
At about the same hour when Buford's division occupied Gettysburg, June 29, 1863.
Kilpatrick, passing through Hanover, a few miles from Gettysburg, was suddenly surprised by Stuart's cavalry, then on their march for Carlisle.
Stuart led in person, and made a desperate charge on the flank and rear of Farnsworth's brigade, at the eastern end of the village.
A severe battle ensued in the town and on its borders, when Custer joined in the fight with his troops, and the Confederates were repulsed.
The Nationals lost about 500 men.
