Chancellorsville Campaign

Jackson's column wound through the forest like a huge serpent, and from this point thousands of marchers in worn battle dress stretched back about six miles to the Lee-Jackson bivouac, followed by a tail of cannon and wagons extending four miles beyond that area. "Old Jack's food cavalry" gratefully trod a road neither too wet nor dusty, but the dewy morning turned to hot midday, and they would welcome a stream in the dry woodland.
