A blow-by-blow account of The Campaign of Chancellorsville in 1863, wherein the newly promoted Joseph Hooker took command of the Union forces (130,000 troops) and in April, 1863 took the battle to the Confederate army across the Rappahannock river. Union casualties at Chancellorsville numbered 17,287, Confederate 12,463. Counted among the latter was Stonewall Jackson who was mortally wounded by his own soldiers in an accidental shooting. As for Hooker, he was allowed to "resign" from command, after Lincoln and his advisers determined "that both the check at Chancellorsville and retreat were inexcusable, and that Hooker must not be entrused with the conduct of another battle." Collector's Notes laid in.
The usual attention given by Easton Press gives us a deep red leather volume with gold decoration and spine title and author in gold as well. Gilt edges, silk moire endpapers and satin bookmark. The book does have one flaw: a small edge stain on the gold edges, pages 505 to the end of the Index, page 528.
