I plan to pass through Aldie, Middleburg and Upperville this weekend. I know there was a cavalry engagement there which was part of the initial stages of the Gettysburg campaign. Daniels 9th Michigan Battery experienced its baptism of fire there during the artillery duel, then later the battery would arrive and be in place along McGilvery's line of guns on July 3rd.
Does anyone know exactly where the monuments/markers are in the little town of Aldie that commemorate this engagement?? It's off of Route 50 (the Little River Turnpike back then) west of Gilberts Corner. Thanks for any help......
