rto unknown route, by which the movement was effected is, therefore, unwarranted. The statement that marching orders were not given to the Second Corps until after a meeting between Lee and Jackson Saturday morning, May 2nd, is not consistent with the facts, which appear in the official records, as will be seen from the following extracts from the War of the Rebellion, Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, Series I, Vol. XXV: Extracts. From the Report of Brig. General David B. Birney, U. S. A.

equested that I would at once go down to Catherine Furnace, which is quite near, and where a Colonel Welford lived, and ascertain if there was any road by which he could secretly pass around Chancell showing all the public roads, but with few details of the intermediate topography. Reaching Mr. Welford's, I aroused him from his bed, and soon learned that he himself had recently opened a road thf hauling cord wood and iron ore to the furnace. This I located on the map, and having asked Mr. Welford if he would act as a guide if it became necessary to march over that road, I returned to head obtained information (on the morning of May 2nd) of a road which had been recently opened by Col. Welford, and that it was by this road that Jackson's corps made the detour around Hooker's right flanchkiss representation that there was time for him after daylight to go to the furnace, arouse Col.

could send a couple of guns to a spot close by, open fire on the enemy's position, which would speedily settle the question. From the spot referred to, two of our guns had to be withdrawn that afternoon, as the infantry were suffering from the fire they were drawing from the enemy. General Jackson then withdrew, and General Lee dictated to Colonel Marshall a long letter to President Davis, giving him fully the situation. In it he regretted he could not have the assistance of Pickett's and Hood's divisions, but expressed his confidence in the good judgment that had withdrawn and kept them from him, and closed with the hope that, notwithstanding all our dangers and disadvantages, Providence would bless the efforts which he was sure his brave army would make to deserve success. I give all this detail to show the errors writers upon Chancellorsville have fallen into, in reference to the Origin of Gen-Jackson's famous flank movement. And as settling the question as to who origina

Lee, describing the position of the Federal nsel and confidence of General Jackson, he (General Lee) determined still further to divide his armnel Marshall, the well-known aidede-camp of General Lee, was the only other person present, having e any of them on this side of the river. General Lee expressed the hope that General Jackson's ew me what to do, and we will try to do it. General Lee looked thoughtfully at the map; then indicaut he used the word proposed, which was not General Lee's, probably through inadvertence, or on the supposition that it expressed General Lee's true meaning as well or better than undertook. What General Lee did say was, that General Jackson undertook to throw his command entirely in Hooker's f his army crushed. The responsibility was all Lee's, and to him, first of all, belongs the creditsoldierly qualities of General Jackson, and General Lee resented such an imputation when he said to[71 more...]

Welford, and that it was by this road that Jackson's corps made the detour around Hooker's right flank, but the Route of Jackson's Corps, as indicated by Hotchkiss on the map published with his first account in 1867, was by the Furnace and Brock roads, which were old roads, and were clearly shown on the map of Spotsylvania county, prepared before the Battle of Chancellorsville, by Major A. H. Campbell, of the C. S. Engineer corps, (see Plate No. XCI, published with Vol. 25, of Rebellion Records). It is apparent from Dr. Dabney's account that General Jackson was seeking for a shorter route than Campbell's map showed, as well as information as to the condition of the known roads, but if the route of the Second Corps on May 2nd is correctly laid down by Hotchkiss on his map, all efforts to find a suitable cut-off failed, for it followed the old roads shown on Campbell's map. Furthermore, it was from his chaplain, (the Rev. Mr. Lacy), that Jackson sought information about the
