WAR STORY
May l-3. 1863

but the advance Of the center column
under General Sykes encountered the
enemy abreast of Banks ford about
two miles beyond Charlottesville. The
Confederates who headed off Sykes
were part of the division of McLaws.
They had occupied Lees lines on the
left flank, facing the river, and had
angles with their old position.
After a lively fight Sykes fell back
before the enemy and gave way to
Hancock. who. as usual. prepared to
forge ahead. The ground reached by
this center column overlooked Banks
ford, and if that could be cleared Of
the enemy it would give short line of
communication between the right wing
of Hooker's army under his own lead
south Of the river and the left wing IN
der Sedgwick north of the river.
When Hooker heard the sound of
Sykes guns far at the front, he imme-
diately ordered the three columns
which had marched on past Chancel-
louisville to retire to that point. This
left Banks ford in Lees grasp and
made the distance between the divided
wings Of Hooker's army twenty miles
instead of six. The mistake was fatal
to Hooker's chances of bea ting Lee on
that ground.
McLaws followed up his success of
forcing back the Federals. Gradually
the whole division closed up against
the Federal advance. Lee remained
with McLaws to direct the fighting,
which was not desperate, but just
enough to make Hooker cautious.
In spite of the apparent timidity OF
Fighting Joe'' in marching backward
the moment his troops got in touch
with the enemy he still had high hopes
of ultimate success. He meant to figh
Lee, if Lee would stand for it, upor
that rolling, open ground in front OF
Charlottesville and Banks ford. He
believed that when Lee found his enc
my's army planted there he would re
treat toward Richmond. Longstreet
the old warhorse Of Lee, was absent il
southeastern Virginia. but Stuart, with
his cavalry, lay off on Hooker's right
looking out for the roads to Gordons
vile. Stonewan Jackson was at the
head Of his famous corps and with hin
Lee took counsel "how best to get al
these people,
AS result of the conference between
Lee and Stonewall the latter moved
his corps out of the lines at Freder
icksburg III the direction of Richmond
The outposts Of Hooker saw the Con
federates moving away toward Rich
mond, and Hooker believed that his
stroke in crossing the river was a mas

Fighting Joe's' -
Attack on Lee

Copyright 1909. by G. L Kilmer.]
s~H He great battle of Chancellors-
vile between the forces of
Fighting Joe' Hooker and
Robert E. Lee was decided be-
forehand by a chance collision Of the
advance guards of the contending ar
mics on May 1, 1868. The heavy fight
ing of that bloody field took place gu
May and 3.
Thousands had been slaughtered at
the foot of Marye's hill height domi-
mating the Rappahannock crossings at
the town of Fredericksburg and the
roads leading therefrom toward Rich
mond. HoOker's plan was to avoid the
carnage which would follow second
attack on the fortified heights and dis
pose Of Lee as barrier to the Federal
advance upon Richmond by a stealthy
march around Lees flank. This march
would threaten to cut Lee off from
Richmond and compel him to abandon
the heights of Fredericksburg in order
to save his army. The threat did COM
pei Lee to abandon his intrenched camp
only long enough to meet and turn
back Hooker's marching battalions at
Charlottesville, to force his enemy in
to battle there and send him back
across the Rappahannock crippled and
. defeated.
The Federal army crossed the Kappa
hammock by fords ten to twenty miles
above Fredericksburg. and when Lee
discovered the movement he thought
that the enemy's intention might be to
strike out for Gordonsville. far off on
his left rear. He prepared to meet the
emergency. but didn't let 60 of his
hold on Fredericksburg. Hooker left
ia force Of 10000 men under General
.Sedgwick on the north bank of the
Rappahannock to menace the town.
After crossing his main army at the
upper fOrds he turned down the right
bank, hugging the river and aiming to
strike Lees left flank where it lay in
Its intrenchments. There was a prac-
Tt1cable crossing place six miles above
Fredericksburg. which Lee watched
jealousy, and it's control decided the
fate of the campaign. This was Banks
ford. Hooker sent a small force from
the north side to capture the fort, but
the Confederates were in possession.
and nothing was done.
On the 1st of May Hooker was
marching confidently along three roads
leading to Lees rear. One of them
lpassed close to Banks ford. and the
ground around the ford was open and
well adapted for maneuver and battle
No opposition from the Confederates
twas met with on the Banks ford road.

CHANCELLORsv1LLE.
to march to Charlottesville. When
Sedgwick got the message, his troops
were already in collision with the en-
envy at Fredericksburg, ready to storm
Marye's hill. All day the Sd of May,
Hooker strained his ears listening for
the sound Of Sedgwick's guns ON his
left flank, where Lee and McLaws
were pounding away vigorously. But
Fredericksburg heights had not been
evacuated, although it seemed to Hook
er that he was fighting all Of Lees
army at Charlottesville.
AS the day wore on the Confederates
of Jackson under the leadership Of
Stuart drove back brigade of Fed
erals here and division there, and in
a short time the two wings of Lees
army were united in front of Chancel-
louisville. Lees batteries took for q
target the Charlottesville house where
Hooker stood directing the battle.
A shell struck pillar of the front
against which Hooker was leaning and
the conclusion knocked him down.
Quickly the report flew through the
ranks that Hooker was killed. Before
his fall Hooker had ordered two lead
ing corps to retreat. and after he had
rallied from his shock; he turned over
the command to General Couch with
instructions to withdraw the entire
army from Charlottesville to new
position in the rear.
But Charlottesville was not aban-
doned without fighting. Federal regi-
ments, brigades and batteries disputed
every foot Of ground, every thicket and
ravine. Batteries were destroyed and
generals were killed in heroic struggle
to stem the second disaster. Soldiers
