Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES!
STEALTH IS A MUST AS MUGGLES ARE HEAVY AT TIMES BUT COULD ALWAYS BE WATCHING!
The Battle of Todd's Tavern was an important cavalry clash as it delayed the Union advance to Spotsylvania just enough so that the Confederates could win the race to Spotsylvania. On May 4, 1864, Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant led Major General George G. Meade's Union Army of the Potomac across the Rapidan River into the tangles of the Wilderness. Robert E. Lee attacked him there, and in two days of heavy fighting Grant had both flanks turned and took more than 17,000 casualties. Rather than retreat, he issued orders on May 7 for a night march to Spotsylvania Court House, the next stop on the road to Richmond. To get there, his cavalry would first have to clear Confederate cavalry from the Brock Road. This would lead to some of the most intense and important cavalry fighting of war around a country crossroads called Todd's Tavern.
