On April 6, 1863, near here on an elevated plain, President Lincoln reviewed 13,000-17,000 men on horseback in what was said to be the largest cavalry review in the world. Reporters called it a grand sight, with banners waving, music crashing, and horses prancing as the vast column wound like a huge serpent over the hills past the reviewing party and then stretched far away out of sight.
