The Burning of Chambersburg, Battlefield Pennsylvania

The town was occupied from June 24-26, 1863, during the Gettysburg Campaign, and burned to the ground on the orders of Brig. Gen. John McCausland on July 30, 1864, when it refused to pay a ransom of $100,000 in gold or $500,000 in U.S. dollars.
