In the early morning hours of June 9, 1863, more than 10,000 Union troops crossed the Rappahannock River into Culpeper County, surprising Gen. J.E.B Stuart and his Confederate cavalry.
What took place that fateful day has come to be known as the Civil War's largest calvary battle: The Battle of Brandy Station. Today, 145 years later, the muddy tracks left by 20,000 soldiers and horses are long gone, but their legacy remains.
Last weekend, the Brandy Station Foundation celebrated this historic anniversary. Although the heat index rose to well over 100 degrees, reenactors and visitors from up and down the East Coast came watched the calvary ride again.
