General Ewell's mounted infantry, patrolling out of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, reached Sterrett's Gap in Middlesex Township on the Cumberland-Perry County line. Stopping and resting before turning back at Joseph Miller's farm near the base of the gap, this twenty-man patrol reached the northern limit of the Confederate invasion of central Pennsylvania.
