June 1863 CE

Hooker, in conflict with General-in-Chief Halleck, is rebuffed by Washington on June 28 in his request for additional troops to meet the enemy at Gettysburg, thirty-five miles (fifty-six kilometers) southwest of his Harrisburg headquarters.

Sensing his superiors' distrust, Hooker resigns his command on the eve of battle and is replaced by General George G. Meade.

On June 29, General Ewell's cavalry comes within ten miles of Harrisburg.
