Chancellorsville:  My Fate

CSA forces are currently entrenched east 
of Chancellorsville and south of the 
Maryland city of Fredericksburg. The 
Yankee Hooker recently took command from 
Burnside and was just awantin' a good 
fight. He sent part of his Yankee force 
to Fredericksburg to meet CSA General 
Jubal Early and the remaining Yankee 
force was sent to engage us Rebels' at a 
city called Chancellorsville. Fighting 
was intense, as bloody as Antietam - and 
we finally disengaged hostilities at 
nightfall.

General Lee ordered my Army of 30,000 
men to flank the southern Union force.
We began the long march after midnite 
and in the early morning, we reached
our objective. The Union Army attacked 
our forces, but to no gain.  We were
proud...

My Army moved west, then north. We came 
upon a forest called "The Wilderness" 
and soon my troops were in the rear of 
the Yankee Army.  We turned east and 
attacked, but the Yankees turned tail 
and ran to the city of Chancellorsville 
to hide. The Yankees held the city, but 
CSA forces needed military intellegence. 

Since my command was to address this 
problem, I scouted enemy positions and
was to report same to my superiors. 
During the nite, I rode ahead of our 
combat forces and upon my return - was 
shot mistakenly by my OWN sentry!!  

I fell mortally wounded, eight days 
laters. 

Long live our cause and long live the 
Confederate States of America...
