About the battle
Corbit's Charge was a skirmish fought on June 29, 1863, in Westminster, Maryland, during the American Civil War between the cavalry commanded by Confederate General J.E.B. Stuart and two companies of the 1st Delaware Cavalry shortly before the Battle of Gettysburg. The skirmish, also known as the Battle of Westminster, is thought to have contributed to the delay of Stuart's arrival in Gettysburg and subsequently contributed to the defeat of Confederate forces there.
