Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
In my humble opinion, Luvaas and Nelson have written an important and helpful guide anyone who wants to know more about the Battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville.The chapters' format are as follows:1. Detailed driving directions to the site.2. What happened at the particular site during the battle.3. An account of the action by an actual participant.4. Map(s) showing troop dispositions during the action.I have referred to the title during some of my many visits to both battlefields and have gained a greater appreciation for the challenges facing commanders and other participants.The only complaint is the maps - too few and not detailed enough.Complaint aside, I highly recommend the book as a valuable guide.Read and enjoy!
