Had Burnside yielded to Summers and
Hooker's urgency, and allowed them
to cross the river as best they could
and seize the nights beyond, he would
at least have been able to meet Lee
on a fair field where Burnside's great
preponderance of force might have
been made effective. Instead of do
ing this, however. he lay on the op-
posite bank Of the river for a month
waiting for Lee to bring up forces from

the first engagement of the civil war
