BIG BATTLE BEGAN ON THIS DAY IN 1863
One of the largest military conflicts in North American history began on July
1, 1863, when Union and Confederate forces collided at Gettysburg, PA. The
epic battle lasted three days and resulted in a retreat to Virginia by General
Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia.

An oil painting by American artist John Trumbull depicts the fatal wounding by bayonet of Brig. Gen. Hugh Mercer, center, at the
Battle of Princeton.
On this day in 1777, The Battle of Princeton took place in the War of
Independence, in which George Washington defeated the British forces,
led by Cornwallis in Princeton, New Jersey. General Lord Cornwallis
had left 1,400 British troops under the command of Lieutenant Colonel
Charles Mawhood
.
An 1848 painting by American artist William T. Ranney is titled “Washington Rallying the Americans at the Battle of Princeton.”
A younger Mercer Oak now stands where the original marked the
scene of the fatal wounding of Brig. Gen. Hugh Mercer.
