Sedgwick at Fredericksburg and Salem Heights. by Huntington W. Jackson, Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel, U. S. V. From our encampment on the Stafford Heights, the bright camp-fires of the enemy and the scenes of the terrible encounters under Burnsideof Fitzhugh Lee delivered to the Association of the Army of Northern Virginia he stated: General Robert E.
