A Glimpse of Hanover's Past
The chaotic fighting at the Center Square quickly spilled over onto several side streets, alleys, and fields. At the first sign of trouble, Major John Hammond led an organized withdrawal of the 5th New York Cavalry Regiment from Abbottstown Street/Broadway into the Public Commons along today's Railroad Street. Meanwhile, Union ambulances and remnants of the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment retreated along the rout of Abbottstown Street.

Along Abbottstown Street/Broadway can be found many surviving pre-Civil War buildings that are identified by numbered brass plaques located by the main entrance.

"...the ambulances ran over him inflicting injuries from which he died at his home near Black Creek, N.Y."
-Colonel John Hammond describing ambulance guard Bradley Alexander's traumatic injury.
