Fredericksburg

This book is a quick history of General Ambrose Burnside's ill-fated Fredericksburg Campaign. In less than an hour, you will meet the major players, learn how the battle came about, and understand the significance of the Fredericksburg Campaign. For readers who want to know more, I've included the first complete reports of the battles as they appeared in The New York Tribune, the Chicago Daily Tribune, and The New York Evening Post. While not entirely accurate, they let you experience the war the way contemporary readers learned about it.
