I spent the entire day on the battlefield today, and will again tomorrow.
Today, we did the run-up to the battle, May 1 and May 2. Tomorrow, we do May 3, on both fronts, and then we will do Smith's Run and Banks' Ford. One of my guys is a West Pointer, and it's been very interesting having his professional perspective on Hooker and his decision-making.

The Battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia started on this day in 1863. Union General Joseph Hooker squares off with Confederate General Robert E. Lee. My YouTube video is a NPS tour of this battlefield.
