What is Calamity at Chancellorsville : the wounding and death of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson about?
The Wounding and Death of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson On May 2, 1863, Confederate General Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson led his Second Corps around the unsuspecting Army of the Potomac on one of the most daring flank marches in history. His surprise flank attack launched with the five simple words You can go forward, then collapsed a Union corps in one of the most stunning accomplishments of the war. Flushed with victory, Jackson decided to continue attacking into the night. He and members of his staff rode beyond the lines to scout the ground while his units reorganized. However, Southern soldiers mistook the riders for Union cavalry and opened fire, mortally wounding Jackson at the apogee of his military career. One of the rounds broke Jackson s left arm, which required amputation. A week later Old Jack was dead. Calamity at Chancellorsville: The Wounding and Death of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson is the first full-length examination of Jackson s final days. Contrary to popular belief, eyewitnesses often disagreed regarding key facts relating to the events surrounding Jackson s reconnaissance, wounding, harrowing journey out of harm s way, medical care, and death
