Troops of General Early's division of the Confederate Second Corps of infantry reached York, Pennsylvania, some by way of East Berlin and some through Hanover.  Large numbers of troops camped at the Fair Grounds on the edge of the town and others gathered the large amount of supplies demanded from the population.  Many of the units left the town the next day and the remainder were gone by Tuesday, June 30, 1863.  (By John Osborne)

The day after marching through Carlisle, Confederate cavalry reached Mechanicsburg at around nine in the morning, just nine miles from the Pennsylvania Capitol building in Harrisburg.  General Jenkins established a temporary headquarters at the Ashland Hotel and made the usual demands for supplies upon the citizenry.  When the requests had been filled, he joined his men camped just east of the town.  (By John Osborne)  

Confederate cavalry under General A.G. Jenkins entered the town of Carlisle in mid-morning, demanded provisions, and then moved on towards Harrisburg.  A few hours later units of the Second Corps infantry of General Richard Ewell arrived and bivouacked in the town at the Barracks and on the grounds of Dickinson College, places well known to many of the officers who knew Carlisle from their days at the Cavalry School or as undergraduates.
