War Stories from the Wilderness and Fredericksburg
A veteran essay recalls the Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville campaigns with vivid, if imperfectly legible, detail. It notes Anderson and McLaws at Fredericksburg, Jackson’s in the Wilderness, and a humorous, personal account of Yankee prisoners and the peculiar mix of fear and bravado observed by Confederate troops. The author urges fellow soldiers to share brigade histories with The Journal to compile a fuller Civil War record.
