Battle of Groveton Aug 1862 - pavane - 05-14-2019 Could anyone tell me where I can find details of this battle please? When I search and click on Wikipedia links it sends me to a description of "2nd bull Run" battle. I have read the brief scenario description of course. but would like to know more. RE: Battle of Groveton Aug 1862 - wildb - 05-14-2019 Manassas, Second Other Names: Manassas, Second Bull Run, Manassas Plains, Groveton, Gainesville, Brawner's Farm https://www.nps.gov/abpp/battles/va026.htm ==== It is one of the many names given to the battle of Second Manassas.

It seems then the union troops were marching to join Popes army when confederate troops moving into position to attack Pope bumped into them?

Basically Jackson had taken up his (almost) final position on the battlefield near the railroad cut after taking the Manassas Depot, and was wanting to draw Pope's attention to his presence so Longstreet could arrive unmolested. Pope being Pope, Jackson went undiscovered, and so he initiated the action at Brawner's in order to more or less force the issue.(05-14-2019, 11:08 PM)wildb Wrote: Manassas, Second |
