VA-JJ10 Mine Run Campaign

Marker text: MINE RUN CAMPAIGN

Meade, advancing south from the Rapidan River to attack Lee, round him in an entrenched position here on November 28, 1863. Heavy skirmishing went on until December 1. Then Meade, thinking Lee's lines too strong to assault, retired across the Rapidan in time to avoid a counterattack by the Confederates.
