a FEW years ago General FltZhugh Lee VINO
~ commanded the cavalry force under
n Stonewall Jackson, with at
Gettysburg studying the situation of his
uncles command during the battle there. Just
before we parted, Fitzhugh said: General Howard
do you know that at Charlottesville, when
was riding with my cavalry in the forest, beyond
Jacksons left flank after he had got into position
west of your command, then discovered your right
brigade under Won elisa? 1t was seen from the top
of hill covered with trees. While l could see the
men of the brigade clearly with my held-gass, they
could not see me | rode and told Jackson what
had discovered. His divisions were so located that
they would have come smack against your front.
Jackson rode with me to the woody height took a
good look and then went back and marched his
command by the flank to that place"
Hooker's Lost Chance
THIS threw light upon the whole march of
Tackson's troops, and modified the character of
his last advance and attack on the Eleventh Corps
The battle of Charlottesville was fought in the
horseshoe bend of the Rapdan, just south of its
junction with the Rappahannock. Our main line
stretched four or five miles northeast and south
west Lees front extended about two and half
miles and faced US a distance of two miles away.
