APRIL 1, 1863:
The Gunfight at Miskel’s Farm took place near Broad Run in
Loudoun County, Virginia, between 70 of Mosby's Rangers and 50 men of the 2nd
Pennsylvania Cavalry. The 2nd Pennsylvania surprised and attacked the Rangers,
who were bivouacked on the farm of Thomas Miskel. The Rangers successfully
defended the attack and subsequently routed the Pennsylvanians, inflicting
