If you have any of this collection of vintage booklets of Civil war photographs and history, you know what a historic treat it is. Originally published and released week by week, over a 16 week period, we are offering
Part Seven
Fredericksburg - The movement of the Federal army on Fredericksburg resulted in one of the bloodiest battles of the entire war and the valor of the Federal troops in crossing the Rappahannock River under fire and attacking the fortified heights on the opposite bank affords a rare tale of desperate courage.
Chancellorsville - The victory aat Chancellorsville developed such extraordinary confidence in the Confederate forces that it brought them with relentless vigor against the almost impregnable Federal lines at Gettysburg. At Chancellorsville the Confederate army suffered a serious loss in the fatal wounding of Stonewall Jackson.
The War Photographs here reproduced show the historic country on both sides of the Rappahannock River as it appeared at the time of the battle of Fredericksburg. The commanding generals as they appeared at the time of the battle and the scenes of warfare, including the dead and the wounded, are brought before the reader with vividness.
