The Battle of Chancellorsville, April 30–May 6, 1863, resulted in a Confederate victory that stopped an attempted flanking movement by Maj. Gen. Joseph "Fighting Joe" Hooker’s Army of the Potomac against the left of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia. The Southern victory was diminished by the loss of Lt. Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, mortally wounded by his own men who mistook him and his staff for Union cavalry, a loss that would have far-reaching effects on the Civil War. All told, the Union suffered 14,000 casualties, the Confederates 10,000 - but the loss of Jackson was a high price to pay, a price that would become obvious before summer was over. Many consider Chancellorsville to be Lee’s greatest victory. It set the stage for his second invasion of the North and the Battle of Gettysburg. This presentation of "The Battle of Chancellorsville," first published as a special issue of "Civil War Times Illustrated," is here reissued in 1981 by Eastern Acorn Press, the publishing imprint of Eastern National Park & Monument Association.
