Chancellorsville, 1863

the souls of the brave

1st ed.

It was a landmark engagement in the history of warfare. It served as the single greatest display of Robert E. Lee's tactical genius and Stonewall Jackson's troop leadership. But while it was the high point of Civil War battlefield success for the South, Chancellorsville ultimately turned out to be a devastating blow to the future of the Confederacy. Basing his work on extensive new research, including unpublished diaries and letters, Furgurson presents Chancellorsville not as a single episode but as a series of distinct and bloody clashes. Combining an authoritative military analysis with wrenching eyewitness narratives, Chancellorsville 1863 makes clear why Lee's brightest victory predetermined his defeat at Gettysburg. - Jacket flap.

Book Details


Table of Contents

Prologue : The place of blood and wrath
Winter along the Rappanhannock
Man on a white horse
Audacity above all
The country says "move"
When we get to Richmond
The crazy old Presbyterian fool
Into the wilderness
Hurrah for old Joe!
Keep closed on Chancellorsville
You can go forward, then
Such a stampede never was seen
Chaos in the moonlight
So perfect a slaughter
Lee's supreme moment
We're going to cut our way through
Fire in the pulpit
Every hat raised high
Let us cross over the river
Up like a rocket, down like a stick
Epilogue : The lost, lost fight
Appendix 1 : Order of battle
Appendix 2 : Casualties
