Chancellorsville, Virginia, USA
After Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Virginia, on the 14th of September 2015.
The Battle of Chancellorsville was a major battle of the American Civil War, and the principal engagement of the Chancellorsville Campaign. It was fought from April 30 to May 6, 1863, in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, near the village of Chancellorsville.
Two related battles were fought nearby on May 3 in the vicinity of Fredericksburg. The campaign pitted Union Army Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker's Army of the Potomac against an army less than half its size, Gen. Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Chancellorsville is known as Lee's perfect battle because his risky decision to divide his army in the presence of a much larger enemy force resulted in a significant Confederate victory. The victory, a product of Lee's audacity and Hooker's timid decision making, was tempered by heavy casualties and the mortal wounding of Lt. Gen. Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson by friendly fire, a loss that Lee likened to losing my right arm.
The Chancellorsville Campaign began with the crossing of the Rappahannock River by the Union army on the morning of April 27, 1863.

Dopo Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Virginia il 14 di settembre 2015.
La battaglia di Chancellorsville fu una delle principali battaglie della guerra di secessione americana, combattuta dal 30 aprile al 6 maggio 1863. Chiamata la battaglia perfetta di Lee a causa dei rischi corsi ma della riuscita suddivisione del suo esercito in presenza di una forza nemica assai maggiore, la battaglia contrappose l'Armata del Potomac del Mag. Gen. Joseph Hooker a un'armata confederata grande la metà, l'Armata Confederata della Virginia Settentrionale del Gen. Robert E. Lee. L'audacia di Lee, magistralmente coadiuvato dal Gen. Stonewall Jackson, e la timida condotta in combattimento di Hooker si combinarono, producendo un risultato significativo e imbarazzante che condusse l'Unione a una sconfitta. Le conseguenze della sconfitta avrebbero potuto essere devastanti per l'Unione, ma in campo confederato fu enorme il contraccolpo psicologico e sul piano tattico per la ferita mortale ricevuta da Stonewall Jackson (colpito da fuoco amico), una tragedia che Lee descrisse come la perdita del mio braccio destro.
La Campagna di Chancellorsville cominciò con l'attraversamento del fiume Rappahannock da parte dell'esercito unionista la mattina del 27 aprile 1863. Pesanti combattimenti cominciarono il 1º maggio e non finirono fin quando le forze unioniste non riattraversarono il fiume nella notte tra il 5 e il 6 maggio.

What made this home interesting is the fact that the home has the same foundation it did back when Stonewall Jackson past away - and it still have the same flooring, bedding, and the clock you see on the mantle are all the actual items that were there the day he died.
All of this was in memory of Jackson - and the amazing general that he was.

October 26, 2016: Monuments Speak: The Lee-Jackson Windows at Washington National Cathedral
In 2015, immediately following the Charleston massacre, then-Dean Gary Hall called for the removal of two stained glass windows in the Cathedral that honor Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas Stonewall Jackson. After a year of exploration by an appointed task force, the Cathedral made the decision to remove the image of the Confederate battle flag from these two windows and to embark on a program of robust discussion and engagement on race and the Church.
On October 26 at 7pm, the Cathedral will hold our first public conversation focused on these windows. Speakers will reflect on their historical and current context, and respond to the Cathedral’s decision to remove the image of the Confederate flag while retaining the full windows during this interim period.
Speakers include:
Dr. Rex Ellis, Associate Director of Curatorial Affairs, National Museum of African American History and Culture
Dr. John Coski, Historian at The American Civil War Museum and author of The Confederate Battle Flag: America's Most Embattled Emblem
The Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas, Canon Theologian at Washington National Cathedral
moderated by journalist Ray Suarez
A robust panel discussion and questions from attendees will provide a rich opportunity to explore how monuments, including the Lee-Jackson windows, speak to past and present audiences. Attendees can expect to be intrigued and challenged as these windows act as a catalyst for a new conversation in the Church. As Canon Theologian Kelly Brown Douglas puts it, “this is a kairos time in our nation’s history, a decisive moment that potentially has far-reaching impact. And so, we must live into it by indeed refusing to be content until God’s justice is made real.”
This program is underwritten by gifts given in honor of the Very Reverend Gary Hall in thanksgiving for his leadership and prophetic voice during his tenure at Washington National Cathedral.
Stonewall Jackson is Shot
Thomas Jonathan Stonewall Jackson (January 21, 1824 -- May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and one of the best-known Confederate commanders after General Robert E. Lee. His military career includes the Valley Campaign of 1862 and his service as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. Confederate pickets accidentally shot him at the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863; the general survived with the loss of an arm to amputation. However, he died of complications of pneumonia eight days later. His death was a severe setback for the Confederacy, affecting not only its military prospects, but also the morale of its army and of the general public.
Jackson in death became an icon of Southern heroism and commitment, joining Lee in the pantheon of the Lost Cause.
Military historians consider Jackson to be one of the most gifted tactical commanders in the nation's history. His Valley Campaign and his envelopment of the Union Army right wing at Chancellorsville are studied worldwide even today as examples of innovative and bold leadership. He excelled as well in other battles: the First Battle of Bull Run (where he received his famous nickname Stonewall), Second Bull Run, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. Jackson was not universally successful as a commander, however, as displayed by his weak and confused efforts during the Seven Days Battles around Richmond in 1862.

This oddity is where the severed left arm of Stonewall Jackson lies, the infamous Confederate general. Its near Fredericksburg VA on the Elwood property.
Visiting the Site Where Stonewall Jackson Died
Travel with Trey to the site of Stonewall Jackson's death. Thomas Jonathan Stonewall Jackson was one of the most famous Confederate general of the Civil War. He received his name from Barnard Elliott Bee who called him a stonewall for his performance at the first battle of Bull Run in Virginia. Educated in the North, he became General Robert E. Lee's favorite general, and historians consider his death a turning point in Lee's own morale and enthusiasm for winning the war, remarking, I have lost my right arm. I am bleeding at the heart.
Jackson died of pneumonia although this malady was complicated by three gunshot wounds he received from his own men who mistook him and his troops for a Union patrol. His arm was amputated and given its own burial.

Caroline County, Va (Ruther Glen, Ladysmith, Bowling Green)
Welcome to Caroline County Virginia, which is situated along the I-95 corridor between Fredericksburg and Richmond. There is a significant amount of history in Caroline County, not the least of which is the Stonewall Jackson Shrine. The Stonewall Jackson Shrine tends to be one of the more surprising pieces of history found in Caroline County. Stonewall Jackson was actually wounded in Spotysylvania, but was transported to the Chandler plantation in Guinea Station in Caroline County, where he subsequently died.
The largest employers in the county are Fort A. P. Hill, Russell Stover Candies, and Value City Furniture.
One of the more significant annual events to occur within the county is the Virginia state fair that is held at Meadow Event Park on Route 30 in the Doswell area. Meadow Event Park hosts many events throughout the year, including a wonderful Christmas light display.
The primary residential areas include the town of Bowling Green, and the neighborhoods of Belmont, Ladysmith Village, Lake Caroline and Lake Land’Or. The latter two are gated lake communities.
Caroline County is home to a wonderful coffee shop called The Mix House that has two locations, one in Bowling Green, and their mobile coffee bar in Ladysmith. Other local favorites include The Rusty Beaver Brewery and The Timbers Restaurant.

Fighting Regiments of War of Rights - 18th North Carolina “Bloody Eighteenth”
Thanks to Sgt Adolf Fritz/Jagdmann of the 52nd NY for helping me translate and record this Video!
If you would like to see the German/Deutsch version of this video, here is the link:
The 18th North Carolina, also known as the bloody eighteenth, was formerly the 8th Volunteers who were organized at Camp Wyatt near Carolina Beach, North Carolina in July of 1861. It’s men came from Wilmington and the counties of Robeson, new Hanover, Bladen, Columbus and Richmond. The regiment first moved to South Carolina then in the spring of 1862, it proceeded to Virginia. When the tarheels arrived in Virginia, they were placed in a brigade full of other tarheels which included the 7th, 28th, 33rd, and 37th North carolina regiments and was commanded by Lawrence O’Bryan Branch. The 18th would be baptised in fire at the battle of Hanover Court House. The regiment would continue to see combat during the Seven Day’s Battle and Northern Virginia Campaign, especially proving their worth at the Battle of Cedar Mountain. After dislodging Pope from virginia, the regiment would follow Jackson and Hill into Maryland for the Maryland Campaign.
Currently you can find the 18th North Carolina Infantry on Shenandoah Street, Washington Street, and Graveyard.

Wilderness, Virginia, USA
Visit to Wilderness Battlefield, Virginia, USA, on the 14th of September 2015.
The Battle of the Wilderness, fought May 5–7, 1864, was the first battle of Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's 1864 Virginia Overland Campaign against Gen. Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia in the American Civil War. Both armies suffered heavy casualties, a harbinger of a bloody war of attrition by Grant against Lee's army and, eventually, the Confederate capital, Richmond, Virginia. The battle was tactically inconclusive, as Grant disengaged and continued his offensive.
Grant attempted to move quickly through the dense underbrush of the Wilderness of Spotsylvania, but Lee launched two of his corps on parallel roads to intercept him. On the morning of May 5, the Union V Corps under Maj. Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren attacked the Confederate Second Corps, commanded by Lt. Gen. Richard S. Ewell, on the Orange Turnpike. That afternoon the Third Corps, commanded by Lt. Gen. A.P. Hill, encountered Brig. Gen. George W. Getty's division (VI Corps) and Maj. Gen. Winfield S. Hancock's II Corps on the Orange Plank Road. Fighting until dark was fierce but inconclusive as both sides attempted to maneuver in the dense woods.
At dawn on May 6, Hancock attacked along the Plank Road, driving Hill's Corps back in confusion, but the First Corps of Lt. Gen. James Longstreet arrived in time to prevent the collapse of the Confederate right flank. Longstreet followed up with a surprise flanking attack from an unfinished railroad bed that drove Hancock's men back to the Brock Road, but the momentum was lost when Longstreet was wounded by his own men. An evening attack by Brig. Gen. John B. Gordon against the Union right flank caused consternation at Union headquarters, but the lines stabilized and fighting ceased. On May 7, Grant disengaged and moved to the southeast, intending to leave the Wilderness to interpose his army between Lee and Richmond, leading to the bloody Battle of Spotsylvania Court House.

Visita al campo di battaglia di Wilderness, Virginia, USA, 14 settembre 2015.
La battaglia del Wilderness fu la prima battaglia della campagna terrestre del 1864 ten. gen. Ulysses S. Grant 1864 in Virginia contro il generale Robert E. Lee e l'Armata della Virginia Settentrionale confederata.
La battaglia fu combattuta il 5–7 maggio 1864. Nonostante la netta inferiorità numerica (68.000 uomini contro 125.000), il grande stratega confederato riuscì a muovere battaglia esattamente dove voluto, in un terreno estremamente favorevole e di gran lunga meglio conosciuto dalle sue truppe. Per la prima volta, tuttavia, a comandare l'esercito nemico, trovò un avversario altrettanto valido e lo scontro risultò non decisivo per l'abilità dimostrata da Lee e Grant di rispondere efficacemente alle mosse dell'antagonista. Sebbene i federali subirono perdite largamente superiori (stimate in circa 18.000 contro le 11.000 dei confederati), Grant con una mossa geniale riprese in mano l'iniziativa e, anziché ritirarsi dietro il Rapidan, mosse verso sud l'offensiva strategica, tentando di interporsi tra Richmond e l'Armata della Virginia Settentrionale.
Siti principali: Grant's Headquarters; Saunders Field; Higgerson Farm; Chewning Farm; Tapp FIeld; Longstreet's Wounding; Brock Road-Plank Road Intersection.

Just South of the State Route 640 overpass, adjacent to Industrial Drive on the first spur to the South of the overpass.
Train:
NB CSX W055-08 Weed Sprayer Train
Units:
CSX #6341 GP40-2
Comments:
The last train of our trip that we were waiting for finally arrived. The W055-08 finally came through Milford, VA after chasing ahead of it from Ruther Glen, VA. The train was the same equipment as the previous night (see W055-07 video from Ashland) but it had swapped to a lower-powered, but still able GP40-2. For any non-railroad savvy viewers the purpose of this train is to patrol the railroad right of way for any encroaching plants and vegetation. The train is equipped with nozzles that can shoot the infestations and eradicate them so that they will no longer be an issue, This train was no longer spraying but told to head North so that it could clear out of the way for an Amtrak movement to come through. Presumably it would then head back South to the vicinity just North of Ruther Glen, VA to continue spraying. Enjoy!
