Episode 054 "Lee's Masterpiece: The Battle of Chancellorsville"

First Friday means a history episode and this is part 2 of our 4 part Civil War series on the crucial battles of 1862-1863 that lead to Grant coming East. This week we talk Chancellorsville, Lee's greatest tactical victory, and along the way of course there's an examination of the personalities, like "Fighting" Joe Hooker and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. Robert specifically mentions Chancellorsville by John Bigelow, Jr during the episode, but the guys also recommend an article on American Heritage, The Destruction of Fighting Joe Hooker by Gene Smith and Stonewall Jackson: The Man, the Soldier, the Legend by James I. Robertson, Jr.
