The Civil War Battle of Chancellorsville was fought April 30 to

of his own, Lee divided his forces, sending 27,000 men under
“Stonewall” Jackson on a 12-mile march to deliver a flank
attack. In this program, we follow two National Park Service
historians on a tour as they walk the same ground exactly 150
years after Jackson launched his attack. More Info »
