Today in 1863: Saturday June 6 1863 BRAVE BLADES BARED AT BRANDY One of the great cavalry reviews of all time took place today at Brandy Station, near the Rappahannock in northern Virginia. The 8000 assembled cavalrymen of James Ewell Brown Stuart put on a full display. It was designed to show their talents to Robert E. Lee, but he was delayed so the show was staged for local citizens, dignitaries, and ladies, who had come in on a special railroad train to see the show.
