Chapter 4390 A Trip With Brother(Incest/Taboo Sex):>Ep14

The Russell siblings got up early and prepared for their drive to Chancellorsville. Joe didn't like the idea of going through Washington, D.C. traffic, so they meandered through the Maryland and Virginia countryside. They stopped to eat breakfast and, by the time they reached the visitor's center, it was nearly noon. They downloaded an app that allowed them to listen to a running commentary on the battle as they drove around the battlefield. They got out of the car at several points of interest. Chancellorsville, during the Civil War, was nothing but a crossroads. A large home had given the crossroads its name, but the home caught fire during the battle, and burned to the ground. All that was left was an outline of where the home had once stood and had served as Union General Joe Hooker's headquarters during the battle. Hannah thought that Chancellorsville was the most interesting battle, strategically, of the entire Civil War. Confederate General Robert E. Lee had divided his forces (although he only had about half as many soldiers as did the Union forces) and sent General Thomas J (Stonewall) Jackson in a meandering course around the Union Army. Union General Joe Hooker had no idea that the "Rebs" were threatening his right flank. Late in the afternoon, Jackson's men attacked, pushing the Union troops through dense woods and undergrowth. Jackson pushed his advantage, even though it was getting dark. He, himself, went deep into the woods - too far - despite warnings from his staff. Because it was dark and the situation was extremely confusing, his own soldiers, not knowing it was him, shot when they heard a noise, wounding Jackson several times. He had to have his left arm amputated, and several days later died of pneumonia. Jackson was Hannah's favorite Civil War personage; she had read several books about him. Chancellorsville, because of Jackson's daring maneuver, was a huge Confederate win.
