Lee begins moving his army northwest from Fredericksburg into the Shenandoah Valley, where the Blue Ridge Mountains screen their northward movements.

Joseph Hooker, still in command of the Army of the Potomac, sends cavalry forces to find Lee.

The clash at Brandy Station on June 9 is the largest predominantly cavalry battle of the war but ends inconclusively.
