ARGONNE

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 479 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARGONNE , a rocky forest-clad
plateau
  in the north-
east
  of France, extending along the borders of
Lorraine
  and Champagne, and forming part of the departments of Ardennes, Meuse and
Marne
 . The Argonne stretches from S.S.E. to N.N.W., a distance of 63 m. with an
average
  breadth of 19 m., and an
average
  height of 1150 ft. It forms the connecting-link between the plateaus of Haute
Marne
  and the Ardennes, and is bounded E. by the Meuse and W. by the Ante and the Aisne, which rises in its southern
plateau
 . The valleys of the Aire and other rivers traverse it longitudinally, a fact to which its importance as a
bulwark
  of north-eastern France is largely due. Of the numerous forests which clothe both slopes of the plateau, the
chief
  is that of Argonne, which extends for 25 M. between the Aire and the Aisne.
For Dumouriez's Argonne campaign in 1792, see FRENCH REvoLUTIONARY WARS.
