Name[edit]

Shouldn't this be renamed to Battle of Sporting Hill?--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 06:46, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I wouldn't call it a battle. Come on, 20 people dead? With all due respect for the victims, more people die on an average county fair. //Halibu tt 13:22, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Location[edit]

According to a book written by Robert Christ, "The History of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania", this skirmish actually took place in Hampden Township, East Pennsboro Township, and Camp Hill Borough. There is a current State Historic Marker at the intersection of 31st and Market Streets in Camp Hill, designated that location the furthest point northeast that the Confederate Army reached during the American Civil War. This location is 3 miles from the Susquehanna River. Updating page to note this. _{Wrightchr | talk} 17:03, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent Date[edit]

I have no special knowledge of this topic, but the date, 6/30/1863, in the info box and first paragraph is different from the date in the Skirmish section, 6/29/1863. There may have been actions of both dates, but the details are only about the 29th. Qrobert (talk) 18:19, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Skirmish of Oyster Point[edit]

Is this the same as, or does it include the Skirmish of Oyster Point? Penndyl (talk) 13:57, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
