On July 1, 1863, Brig. Gen. John Buford had his finest hour, commanding United States cavalry in the opening hours of the Battle of Gettysburg. In serving his country amid the American Civil War, Buford carried on a military pedigree that went back to the country’s founding days, as the grandson and grandnephew of a pair of officers in the War of American Independence, amid a family tree full of martial stock.
