"'We Might Have Gained A Great Victory'"

Often looked at as a sideshow to the larger battle of Chancellorsville, the Second Battle of Fredericksburg was an import cog in the wheel that was Joseph Hooker's plan. Success or failure of both armies hung in the balance. This small Yankee victory, in the midst of the larger Federal defeat, had far reaching impact as the two armies marched north toward Gettysburg.

Recorded at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum & Visitor Center in July 2014 as part of the annual Sacred Trust Talks and Book Signings.
