Description
Contents: Doubly Missed Opportunity (On either side of the Rapidan River, Union and Confederate armies in the fall of 1863 seemed hesitant and overly cautious of each other. Perhaps – with good cause – they were fought-out. Gettysburg was only a few months in the past), Tragedian’s Greatest Role (Abraham Lincoln – like thousands of other Northern playgoers – would have recognized his assassin at a glance. John Wilkes Booth was one of the most famous actors in America. His last role was also his deepest tragedy), Bold, But Not Too Bold (At Big Bethel, Union Brig. Gen Ebenezer Pierce watched as skirmishers covered the 3rd New York’s withdrawal against advancing enemy infantry – and suddenly realized that they were actually exchanging shots with other Union troops), Forrest’s First Fight (Mollie Moorehead was eager to tell Lt. Col. Nathan Bedford Forrest that the Yankees had occupied Sacramento, Ky. It was all Forrest could do to dissuade her from riding into battle with him).
