Chancellorsville 145th - A Look Back

The photograph here shows the ground over which Confederate forces advanced against the Federals on May 1, 1863. This view is taken from the location of Union skirmishers, looking east. The ridge at right center was lined with Confederate artillery. On Saturday, May 3, 2008, re-enactors recreated this opening engagement on the very ground upon which it happened 145 years before.

 

145th Chancellorsville Commemoration

May 2-4, 2008

 

One hundred and forty-five years ago, the Army of Northern Virginia embarked on a campaign against numerically superior opposition. After three days, and one of military history’s greatest flanking maneuvers, they would control the field. It all began on this corridor along the Germanna Plank Road. On May 3-4, 2008, history came alive as re-enactors followed in the very footsteps of those who went before.

Many thanks to all who made this commemoration a success.
