Clearings are few and far between; the roads are bad, and the undergrowth of the woods is penetrated with difficulty. The face of the country is undulating, with, gentle gradients, and abrupt or considerable eminences are seldom met with. The water-courses are numerous, and several attain to the dignity of rivers, notably the Rappahannock and the Rapidan, the Matapony and the North and South Annas. Their course is, generally speaking, from west to east, crossing at right angles the line of Federal invasion. The State is in many parts exceedingly fertile, but sparsely cultivated and without manufacturing industry or appliances; and at this period neither food nor forage were plentiful. It is still thinly populated, and between Richmond and the Potomac there is no large town or market. The railroads have already been remarked. The Rappahannock is tidal as far as Frederic.ksburg, and two hundred yards wide in the neighbourhood of the town, increasing in width as it flows seaward.. Below Port Eoyal it becomes a formidable obstacle in the path of an hostile army. There are several easy fords above Falmouth; the river-banks, except near Fredericksburg, are clad with timber, and from Falmouth downwards the left commands the right. Burnside's object and plan. Burnside's objective was, as we have seen, Richmond, sixty miles south of Fredericksburg; but between him and the Confederate capital intervened the broad waters of the Rappahannock and the Army of Northern Virginia. Before the city could be captured, Lee's army must be annihilated; before that army could be dealt with, the Rappahannock must be crossed. He had therefore two distinct ends to accomplish: the first, to convey his force across the river; the second, to bring the Confederates...

Book excerpt: The battle at Fredericksburg, Virginia, in December 1862 involved hundreds of thousands of men; produced staggering, unequal casualties (13,000 Federal soldiers compared to 4,500 Confederates); ruined the career of Ambrose E. Burnside; embarrassed Abraham Lincoln; and distinguished Robert E. Lee as one of the greatest military strategists of his era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the battle of Gettysburg, as Union troops along Cemetery Ridge rebuffed Pickett's Charge, they were heard to shout, "Give them Fredericksburg!" Their cries reverberated from a clash that, although fought some six months earlier, clearly loomed large in the minds of Civil War soldiers. Fought on December 13, 1862, the battle of Fredericksburg ended in a stunning defeat for the Union. Confederate general Robert E. Lee suffered roughly 5,000 casualties but inflicted more than twice that many losses--nearly 13,000--on his opponent, General Ambrose Burnside. As news of the Union loss traveled north, it spread a wave of public despair that extended all the way to President Lincoln. In the beleaguered Confederacy, the southern victory bolstered flagging hopes, as Lee and his men began to take on an aura of invincibility. George Rable offers a gripping account of the battle of Fredericksburg and places the campaign within its broader political, social, and military context. Blending battlefield and home front history, he not only addresses questions of strategy and tactics but also explores material conditions in camp, the rhythms and disruptions of military life, and the enduring effects of the carnage on survivors--both civilian and military--on both sides.

Book excerpt: This Civil War history and guide offers a vivid chronicle of this dramatic yet misunderstood battle, plus invaluable information for battlefield visitors. The battle of Fredericksburg is usually remembered as the most lopsided Union defeat of the Civil War. It is sometimes called “Burnside’s folly,” after Union commander Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside who led the Army of the Potomac to ruin along the banks of the Rappahannock River. Confederates, fortified behind a stone wall along a sunken road, poured a hail of lead into them as they charged. One eyewitness summed it up saying, “it is only murder now.” But the battle remains one of the most misunderstood and misremembered engagements of the war. Burnside started with a well-conceived plan and had every reason to expect victory. How did it go so terribly wrong? Authors Chris Mackowski and Kristopher D. White have worked for years along Fredericksburg’s Sunken Road and Stone Wall, and they’ve escorted thousands of visitors across the battlefield. Simply Murder not only recounts Fredericksburg’s tragic story of slaughter, but includes vital information about the battlefield itself and the insights they’ve learned from years of walking the ground.
