On May 1, 1863, in a small bivouac, illuminated by a campfire, Generals Lee and Jackson were poring over a map, pondering General Joseph Hooker’s position. When J.E.B. Stuart arrived with the startling information that the Union flank was open to attack, Jackson immediately proposed that he boldly march his entire corps around to attack the vulnerable point. Lee agreed, fully aware of the risks of dividing his army before the enemy. Lee and Jackson met the following morning for the last time. Within hours, Hooker’s forces were routed, and Jackson was mortally wounded, mistakenly, by his own men.
