Lee's Bivouac,
Gettysburg Campaign
Gen. Robert E. Lee bivouacked near here on 18-
19 June 1863, as he began his invasion of
Maryland and Pennsylvania. Part of his Army
of Northern Virginia marched north toward
Winchester, while Lt. Gen. James Longstreet's
corps camped here with Lee. On 13 June, a
Union force under Col. Andrew T. McReynolds
had evacuated Berryville and marched to
Winchester to join Maj. Gen. Robert H. Milroy's
division there. Lt. Gen. Richard S. Ewell's corps
attacked and defeated Milroy in the Second
Battle of Winchester on 13-15 June, thereby
clearing the northern Shenandoah Valley in
Virginia of Federal forces.
