Indicated to him by General Lee, and
commenced the movement or his troops
into position at once.
General Jackson's inquiry about the
roads leading to the Furnace was obvi-
ously to enable him to determine the
line of march OF each OF his divisions,
from where they halted Friday night,
to the Furnace, from which point he
led hts troops In person, us stated by
DR.. Dnbney.
General Lee gave to General jackson
all the credit OF having undertaken
and successfully carried out the move
ment around Hooker He was writing
to Mrs. jackson and if he could have
truthfully accorded to her dead hus-
band all the credit claimed for General
Jackson by DIR. Dabney, he would GER
tainly have done so In specific terms
but he did not say that General Jack
son proposed the movement he UNDER
took to execute. r
General Lees Official Report
In General Lees official report of the
battle of charlottesville, he says:
1T was evident that direct attack upon
the enemy would be attended with great
difficulty and loss, In view OF the strength
of his position and his superiority of num-
bcrs. 1t was therefore. resolved to EN-
deavor to turn his right flank and gain,
his rear, leaving force IN front to hold
him In check and conceal the movement
Tho execution OF this movement was en-
ttoeted to Lieutenant General j Jackson with
his three divisions. The commands OF Gen
erals Me !, and anderson Wts t9 nr fa
tho night, had been ordered back TO Banks
Ford. remained in front of the enemy
"Early on the morning OF the I'd. General
jackson marched by the Furnace and Brock
Roads. his movement being efectually COW
cred by Fitzhugh Lees cavalry, under Gen
eral Stuart In person.
''Tle movement by which tho enemy's po-
eition was turned and the fortunes OF the
day decided. was conducted by the lamehted
Lieutenant General Jackson"
Colonel w. H. Taylor's Account
| The personal recollections of such
| members OF General Lees staff as have
| been recorded, were, for reasons al
| the occurrences to which they bear
| witness. and 1t would be strange in
deed II they were in perfect accord
but they all agree with DIR. Dabney
| that 1t was at conference between
| Lee and Jackson Friday night that the
| attack on Hooker's rear was decided
upon. the material point of difference
between Dr. Dabney and Lees stan
| officers being as to whether Lee OF
| jackson originated the rear attack or
| Hooker.
Colonel w. II. Taylor, of Lees staff
| in his -Four Years With General Lee
published in 1878 says in his account
of the battle of Chancellorsville:
Encouraged by the counsel and conn,
determined still further to divide his army
and while he. with the divisions OF An.
derson and McLaws, less than iour.ee !,
| his front, he would hurl Jackson upon nl
flank and rear. and crush and crumbie mn
as between the upper and neither mllistone
Tho very boldness of the movement con
tributed much to insure It's success

of history" is link between tho past
and the present, and now, although tho
crest and shield have lost their actual
use In warfare, they still have strong
claims on our reverence and awe. or tho
duties delegated to the l<ing-at-arms in
Great Britain Is that OF giving to any
one having distinguished himself some
appropriate and significant bearing.
Replete with poetic association to
decorative and artistic Capacity, illus
trated by early manuscripts. brnsses,

vestments, and other rellcs, the science
OF heraldry not only brings the student
into company OF educated people, but OF
rare and fascinating antique and modern
books.
