Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of General Robert E. Lee, and Subordinate Reports of the Battle of Chancellorsville: Also, Reports of Major General J. E. B. Stuart and Brigadier General Fitz Lee, of Cavalry Engagements at Kelleysville; Also, Report of Brigadier General W. H. F. Lee, and Subordinates, of Cavalry Operations of the 14th and 15th of April, 1863 General: After the battle of Fredericksburg, the army remained encamped on the south side of the Rappahannock until the latter part of April. The Federal army occupied the north side of the river, opposite Fredericksburg, extending to the Potomac. Two brigades of Anderson´s division, those of Generals Mahone and Posey, were stationed near the United States Mine or Bark Mill ford; and a third, under command of General Wilcox, guarded Banks ford. The cavalry was distributed on both flanks - Fitzhugh Lees brigade picketing the Rappahnnnock above the mouth of the Rapidan, and W. II. F. Lee´s near Port Royal. Hampton´s brigade had been sent into the interior to recruit. General Longstreet, with two divisions of his corps, was detached for service south of James river, in February, and did not rejoin the army until after the battle of Chancellorsville. With the exception of the engagement between Fitz Lees brigade and the enemy´s cavalry near Kelley´s ford, on the 17th of March, 1863, of which a brief report has been already forwarded to the Department, nothing of interest transpired during this period of inactivity. On the 14th of April, intelligence was received that the enemy´s cavalry was concentrating en the upper Rappahannock. Their efforts to establish themselves on the south side of the river were successfully resisted by Fitz Lees brigade and two regiments of W. II. F. Lee´s, the whole under the immediate command of General Stuart. About the 21st, small bodies of infantry appeared at Kelley´s ford and the Rappahannock bridge, and almost at the same time a demonstration was made opposite Port Royal, where a party of infantry crossed the river about the 23d.
