On this episode of Dave Does History, we step into the tangled thickets of Virginia’s Wilderness to relive the first day of the Battle of Chancellorsville—May 1, 1863.
It was a day filled with promise, hesitation, and bold defiance, as Union General Joseph Hooker surrendered the initiative and Robert E. Lee seized it.
With vivid storytelling and sharp analysis, we explore how one day of missteps and momentum shifts set the stage for one of the Civil War’s most dramatic gambles.
