4.0 out of 5 stars
Worthy supplement to Bigelow, Furgurson and Sears
My greatgrandfather lost his leg the morning after "Stonewall" Jackson was mortally wounded at Chancellorsville and within a few hundred yards of the site. Therefore, over the years, I have read everything I could find on the battle, including Bigelow's classic account and the more recent accounts by Furgurson and Sears. Theodore A. Dodge (1842-1909)...

More interesting for appendix than battle description
The author basically takes 200 pages to justly criticize Hooker and the rest of the Union command without really added much to the strategic or tactical discussion of the battle though he does put a great emphasis on the importance of the terrain that the battle was fought over.

This review is from: The Campaign of Chancellorsville (Paperback)
My greatgrandfather lost his leg the morning after "Stonewall" Jackson was mortally wounded at Chancellorsville and within a few hundred yards of the site. Therefore, over the years, I have read everything I could find on the battle, including Bigelow's classic account and the more recent accounts by Furgurson and Sears. Theodore A. Dodge (1842-1909) describes what it was like to be surprised and routed by Jackson's troops at the end of the historic "Flank March" and how his Eleventh Corps of the Union Army participated in the fierce and costly fight. Although it was first published in 1881, we can thank Da Capo for reprinting Dodge's book with an Introduction by Stephen Sears. The correspondence between Hooker, Lee and Lincoln that is printed at the end of the book furnishes insight into the aftermath of a horrendous battle. Recommended.
