In early January 1863, General Ambrose E. Burnside strategized to out-flank Confederate forces by crossing the Rappahannock at Bank's Ford, well upstream of Fredericksburg. His advance was brought to an abrupt halt when a vicious winter storm settled in for days and pounded his troops with wind and rain. With two divisions and 150 artillery pieces stuck firm in cold, ankle high mud, Burnside reluctantly retreated back to Stafford from the Greenbank area of Celebrate Virginia. This famous "Mud March," as it came to be known, proved to be Burnside's final act of command.
