"They may as well have tried to stop a cyclone."


Dashing upon the unsuspecting Yankees of the Eleventh Corps, the Alabamians of George Doles' brigade advanced on the farm of James M. Talley. Their blue-clad opponents attempted to rally, but, in the words of one Alabamian, "they may as well have tried to stop a cyclone." The inexorable tide of Jackson's Flank attack was rolling and could not be stopped.
The Civil War Trust now has the opportunity to preserve 37 acres of Jackson's Flank Attack, including the site of the Talley Farm. These parcels along modern day Route 3 will be added to the more than 115 acres already saved by the Trust and its partners — another missing piece of the Chancellorsville battlefield that we have the chance to save forever.
Help us save more of Jackson's Flank Attack!
