Although the Confederate victory cn the first day was not immediately followed up, Lee had good reason to be hopeful about the outcome of J-T (First of Three Articles) By PHILIP VAN DOREN STERN Written for Newspaper Enterprise Association The sun, rising in a cloudless sky over the little Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg gave promise of a hot day for July 1, 1H03.

Gen. John Buford's dismounted cavalry was formed in a skirmish line along a ndge near the Chambersburg Pike as Confederal troops came into sight along the road west of the village. Every fourth Union trooper had been detailed to take care of the horses; the others, armed with the new 7-shot Spencer repeating carbines, were crouching behind fences and shrubs wifh their eyes fixed on the gray-clad men moving toward them. The sun rose higher as the Confederates advanced, and shooting soon became general. The greatest battle of the Civil War had begun.

The Conflict Long Conflict had been brewing clays in the area around Gettysburg. On June 3, 1863, only a month after Chancellorsville, Gen Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had started north through the Shenandoah Valley to invade Pennsylvania. The war became very real to the people of Gettysburg on June 26, when a number of Pennsylvania militiamen were captured or driven back through the town. Behind them came some 200 Confederate cavalrymen who rode through the streets yelling and shooting like western cowboys.

They were followed by 8,000 of Jubal Early's infantrymen, who were marching toward York. Meade Put in Command On the night of June 28 a scout brought Lee word that the Federal army had crossed the Potomac, lie also said there was a rumor that Gen. Joseph Hooker, whom Lee had defeated at Chancellorsville, had been replaced by Gen. George Gordon Meade. Lee issued orders for his far-flung troops to be pulled together with Cashtown as their rende-vous.

Gen. Richard S. Ewell was al Carlisle on his way to Harrisburg, and Early had reached York, while other Confederate units were still south of Chambersburg. The 29th and 30th were spent in reshuffling troops. Then Buford's blue-clad cavalrymen rode through Gettysburg and spread out in the fields west of the town.

This was on June 30, the last relatively peaceful day the people ot Gettysburg were to see for a long time. Town in Path ot Armies Until 1303. Gettysburg was just another small town in Pennsylvania; now it lay in the path of two opposing armies that were about to decide the future by the ordeal of battle. During the afternoon of the first day Union troops were outnumbered when more Confederates arrived. As they drove the across open fields into the town, batteries sent shot and shell howling down the streets, smashing into houses and wounding and killing men and horses.

Some of the buildings still show the marks of the bullets fired that day, and a few even have shells embedded in their walls. The Union soldiers who survived the battle in the streets of Gettysburg finally reached Cemetery Hill, a good defensible position south of the town. Sees Federals Routed Lee arrived on the scene about 3 p.m. in time to see the headlong rout of the Federals. He gave orders to Ewell to attack Cemetery Hill at once, but that cautious commander waited for more troops to arrive during the night.

This was a mistake, for it gave the Federals an opportunity to strengthen their positions, and to extend their line south along Cemetery Ridge. Lee's first chance to win a decisive victory at Gettysburg was lost. Lee Wanted New York Far more was involved in the fate of Gettys burg than the possession of a little country town. Lee was planning to keep on going and invade Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Baltimore, perhaps Washington and even New Y'ork. Such a victory would have a tremendous ef mm.
