The Campaign of Chancellorsville is a book written by Theodore A. Dodge that provides a detailed account of the Civil War campaign that took place in Chancellorsville, Virginia in 1863.

Dodge's writing is based on extensive research, including firsthand accounts from soldiers who fought in the battle, and he provides a comprehensive analysis of the military tactics used by both sides. He also explores the political and social context of the battle, including the role of General Robert E. Lee and the impact of the battle on the course of the Civil War.The Campaign of Chancellorsville is considered a seminal work on the subject and is widely regarded as one of the most important books on the Civil War. It is a must-read for anyone interested in military history, the Civil War, or American history in general.The cavalry and artillery crossed at once by the ford, as well as a portion of the infantry, the latter wading almost to the armpits. But the construction of the bridge was soon temporarily completed by Gens. Geary and Kane; and the rest of the troops and the pack-mules passed safely, by the light of huge bonfires lighted on the banks. The men were in the highest possible spirits, and testified to their enjoyment of the march by the utmost hilarity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
