Gen. Robert E. Lee and Gen. A.P. Hill stood at the Cashtown Inn, listening to the sounds of a growing battle in the distance, a few miles east, near Gettysburg. There, two Confederate infantry brigades clashed with two Union cavalry brigades and, because the armies were marching toward each other, the fighting intensified as additional troops arrived. Soon, the rest of Hill's corps hurried forward to join the fray. The largest battle in America was underway.
