Mine Run Campaign
A series of Civil War engagements from November 27 to December 2, 1863, between the Army of the Potomac, commanded by Union Maj. Gen. George G. Meade, and the Army of Northern Virginia, led by Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, in the Mine Run area of Virginia. Meade launched an offensive against Lee's army near the Rapidan River. After the Battle of Payne's Farm, the Battle of New Hope Church, and the Battle of Mine Run, Meade concluded that the Confederates could not be routed from the Wilderness, and retreated for the winter.
