This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes 4 maps and numerous other illustrations In The Chancellorsville Campaign, January–May 1863, author Bradford Wineman examines the battle of Chancellorsville in which a powerful Union Army, under Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker, was pitted against a smaller but well-led Confederate force under General Robert E. Lee. Hooker planned a bold flanking maneuver to secure a Union victory, crush the rebel army, and open the way for a march toward Richmond, Virginia, the Confederate capital. He anticipated a glorious victory for his Federal troops. In the end it was Lee, and his chief lieutenant, Maj. Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson, who achieved what many historians have called the South’s greatest victory during the Civil War. Once Hooker had maneuvered the bulk of his forces over the Rappahannock River the Union commander gathered his troops into a defensive position at Chancellorsville and waited for Lee to attack. Lee seized the initiative, made several risky tactical moves, and drove the Federals from the field after three days of intense fighting. Only the death of the “Stonewall” Jackson tarnished Lee’s crowning victory.

This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The winter of 1862-1863 found the Union Army of the Potomac in sad shape, after bloody battles, multiple defeats, lack of adequate provisions and high desertion rates. When Major General Joseph Hooker took command, he set about revamping conditions. Instructed by President Lincoln to make the destruction of General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia the Union's top priority, Hooker mounted the Chancellorsville Campaign. Lee's aggressive battlefield manner coupled with Hooker's failure to initiate an assault led to a sound defeat by Confederate forces and left Hooker--who ultimately had only himself and his lack of initiative to blame--looking for a scapegoat. Among those Hooker attempted to hold responsible was the courageous Sixth Army Corps, Major General John Sedgwick commanding, the unit responsible for the sole Union victory of the entire campaign. This history of the battlefield engagements of the Sixth Army Corps on May 3 and 4, 1863, is compiled from contemporary accounts and a variety of postwar histories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Campaign of Chancellorsville: April 27 May 5, 1863; A Critical Review Reprinted by Permission From the Sun of November 6th, 13th and 20th, 1910 The author correctly points out that the four months which followed Hooker's disgraceful and overwhelming disaster at Chancellorsville and ended with Meade's partial victory over Lee at Gettysburg were the darkest in our military history. For had Lee's victory south of the Rapidan been followed by one north of the Potomac, as he had every reason to hope, it is now certain that England and most of the Continental countries would at once have recognized the independence of the Southern Confederacy. While it does not necessarily follow that this would have compelled Lincoln's Administration to do likewise, it would have greatly discouraged the National Govern ment and compelled it to put forth greater efforts than ever to fill the ranks of the army and to make a still closer blockade of the entire southern coast. In order to understand the general features of the campaign and the gravity of the situation which fol lowed we must briefly analyze the author's work.
