POPLAR RUN SIGN

CHANCELLORSVILLE CAMPAIGN
May 2, 1863. Hour by hour, the long gray columns of Jackson's
Corps splashed through the shallow ford here, which was not
stone-paved then, stirring the crossing into a mud hole. Before
the water of this branch of Poplar Run ran clear again in its
course toward the distant York, "Stonewall" Jackson and
hundreds of his marchers were to fall dead or wounded. Many would
never cross another earthly stream.
