We discuss the final battle in the Battle for Chattanooga - Ringgold Gap. Cleburne has one of his best days in the Civil War and General Hooker has one of his worst. 

Chancellorsville and Gettysburg by Abner Doubleday audiobook. Abner Doubleday began the Civil War as a Union officer and aimed the first cannon shot in response to the bombardment opened on Ft. Sumter in 1861. Two years later, after a series of battles (including Antietam, where he was wounded), Doubleday took over a division in the Army of the Potomac's 1st Corps. These are his memoirs of service in two of the War's great campaigns. At Chancellorsville, a very promising start made by General Hooker against Lee's Confederate forces fell to a defeat when, in Doubleday's estimation, normal and prudent precautions against surprise in the heavily-wooded battlefield were not carried out; he also seemingly apologizes for Hooker's lack of leadership during the battle as a result of his having been stunned by a cannon ball hitting the post against which he was leaning. After Chancellorsville, Hooker was replaced as Army Commander by General George Meade. Doubleday describes the curious circumstances that led the two opposing armies to meet at Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. When Doubleday's superior, General John Reynolds, was killed by a sharpshooter on the first day's battle, he took over the 1st Corps and fought it well against converging Confederate divisions that badly outnumbered him. The Corps was forced by battle losses to retire, but its desperate fight bought the time needed for Union reinforcements to pour into Gettysburg and thus prevent a defeat in detail. General Howard of the XIth Corps replaced Doubleday as the senior commander on the field, and mistakenly wrote to Meade that 1st Corps had routed after practically no fighting. Thus, when Meade arrived, he removed Doubleday from command of 1st Corps, replacing him with a more junior general from another Corps. The snub would embitter Doubleday against Meade. This book is in part Doubleday's revenge, as he picks apart Meade's indecision after the battle was essentially won, with the repulse of the famous Pickett's Charge. In his view, Meade could have won the war at that moment.

Was Civil War Union General Joseph “Fightin' Joe” Hooker's last name the origin of the slang term for prostitute? He had a perhaps undeserved reputation as a party animal, but did that reputation actually add a new word to the language? Find out, Buzzkillers!

155th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment and the Army Of The Potomac refits  as General Joseph "Fighting Joe" Hooker takes command of the Army Of The Potomac. Corp badges are issued and the army regains its fighting spirit. A pass and review is conducted in honor of Abraham Lincoln and then the army marches off to war.

After the retreat from the battle of Fredericksburg, the 155th  settles into some snazzy winter quarters and tries to keep themselves entertained through the winter months at Camp Humpreys with music, games, gambling and tricking leadership into giving away alcohol (Again). https://rebellionstories.com/

This episode is dedicated to the late Albert Connor, the man who did the research and pinpointed the moment the Army of the Potomac made its Rocky Balboa comeback and won the War. This is what this podcast is about, those untold stories that are so impactful to our understanding of the conflict. Albert Conner found and brought to light one of these stories in his book, Seizing Destiny: The Army of the Potomac's Valley Forge and the Civil War Winter that saved the Union.

General Hooker prepares to attack Lee at Fredericksburg.

General Lee had been hitherto regarded as a soldier of too great caution, but his plan for the assault on General McClellan indicated the possession of a nerve approaching audacity.Fully comprehending his enemy's strength and position, and aware that a large portion of the Federal army had crossed the Chickahominy, and was directly in his front, he had resolved to pass to the north bank of the stream with the bulk of his force, leaving only about twenty-five thousand men to protect the city, and deliver battle where defeat would prove ruinous. This plan indicated nothing less than audacity, as we have already said but, like the audacity of the flank movement at Chancellorsville afterward, and the daring march, in disregard of General Hooker, to Pennsylvania in 1864, it was founded on profound military insight, and indicated the qualities of a great soldier.
