The Campaign of Chancellorsville is a detailed and engaging account of one of the most significant battles of the Civil War, and it provides readers with a deeper understanding of the events that shaped American history.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.
