Chancellorsville is the fourth book in a series of historical
novels spanning the Civil War that features the Brannon family.
Previous books in this series have been described as "detailed
works of historical fiction written by a gifted author."
Chancellorsville opens with Cory Brannon, the son who had gone west
to seek his fortune. He discovers that he may be able to help
provide the South with food, weapons, and ammunition brought into
the country through Texas by blockade-runners but the path is
strewn with unsavoury characters. Cory's brothers return to their
units - Will to the Shenandoah with Stonewall Jackson and Mac with
Jeb Stuart near Richmond - and shortly afterward Titus signs up as
a sharpshooter. In December 1862 a new Union commander brings the
Union army to the Rappahannock River and Fredricksburg. After the
terrible bloodletting of the Federal defeat, Will and Mac learn
that Titus has been lost, and they carry the news back to Culpeper.
In early 1863 a fitful calm pervades the Virginia front until yet
another Union commander is named. Joe Hooker leads his army into
the wooded wilderness of the Rappahannock again and confidently
stakes his fortunes to an encounter with Robert E. Lee near the
roadside inn at Chancellorsville. As the battle rushes toward them,
Will and Mac witness the boldest move a field commander can make
and the greatest loss the Confederacy can struggle to bear.
