At daylight the couriers returned from Frederick, bringing orders and much unexpected information. Meade had superseded Hooker, Pleasanton had been made chief of cavalry instead of Averill, Caster had been appointed to command the Michigan Cavalry Brigade in place of Copeland, and Kilpatrick to command the cavalry division in place of Stahl. Copeland was ordered to turn over his command, after marching it back a couple of miles out of Gettysburg, to the next officer in rank, Colonel Alger, 5th Cavalry, and himself and staff were ordered to return at once to Frederick and report at army headquarters for duty.
