I recently watched an interesting Sacred Trust video by Frank O'Reilly:
I think O'Reilly makes some interesting points, and believe this might have been an even bigger factor in the corps commanders' loss of confidence in Hooker than the withdrawal to Chancellorsville on May 1. I also like his point that this was the point where Meade gained some support to be the next commander of the Army of the Potomac.
The only first-hand account that I am familiar with regarding the Council of War is Darius Couch's in Battles and Leaders. Does anyone know of any other accounts from any of the participants regarding the Council of War?
