The Battle of Locust Grove Virginia, was a battle of the American Civil War during Meade's operations in Northern Virginia. This battle was desultory and lasted during two days from November the 27th to the 29th, 1863. Meade's army had crossed the Rapidan, and at Payne's Farm, near Locust Grove, French's division had encountered the Confederate troops of Robert E Lee under Edward Johnson and Robert E Lee. That night Sedgwick and Warren were ordered to meet at Locust Grove for a co-operative attack on the Confederates. They intended to mass their forces and assault the Confederate flank, but the move failed. On the twenty-eighth there was a sharp battle of batteries, which accomplished little. The Federals were then ordered to retire. Research Battle of Locust Grove
