The Battle of Bristoe Station was fought on October 14, 1863, between Union and Confederate forces in the American Civil War. The Union army was led by Maj. Gen. George G. Meade, the Confederates by General Robert E. Lee. Maj. Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren, commanding II Corps in Maj. Gen. Winfield S. Hancock's absence, hid his forces near Bristoe Station.
