Alfred Gibbs, commanders, Reserve Brigade, Shehndoah Valley

On this day in 1864, Colonel Alfred Gibbs of the 19th NY Cavalry (aka 1st NY Dragoons) assumed command of the Reserve Brigade in the Shenandoah Valley.  That day, the brigade marched from near Halltown on the road to White Post, met Confederate pickets and drove them towards Newtown, and camped that night near White Post.
