At daylight in the morning he formed his line of battle, gave the order for his right to advance, and soon engaged Hooker with the entire corps, driving him from all his defences, huddling his shattered troops in upon Chancellorsville, and finally routing him completely, and sending him, thoroughly defeated back to the river. This desperate contest, in which JacksoThis desperate contest, in which Jackson's unfinished work was completed, to the full satisfaction of the illustrious soldier, took place in close vicinity to, in, and all around Chancellorsville.

This is the best evidence of a stampeded and flying army. None other escaping from the field of fight would have left so much behind.
