On June 9, 1863, Union Cavalry crossed the Rappahannock River at Beverly's Ford and Kelly's Ford. The two forces totaled 11,000 men and were hunting for Confederates in the Culpeper area. They planned to meet at Brandy Station before advancing on Stuart’s cavalry.
Since the fords were important river crossings, they were used frequently during the Civil War.
On previous visits to Kelly's Ford, it was pretty and serene, as seen in this picture that Frank took 6 or 7 years ago.
