On Campaign with the Army of the Potomac: The Civil War Journal of Theodore Ayrault Dodge"But Dodge was anything but an "armchair" military historian. As a lieutenant colonel in the Army of the Potomac's 101st and later the 119th New York infantry regiments, he participated in the Civil War's fiercest and costliest fighting in the Seven Days' Battle and Second Bull Run, where he was wounded. At Chancellorsville, Dodge's regiment - surprised and routed by Stonewall Jackson's celebrated flanking manouver - found itself at the epicenter of the battle and subsequent controversy. Dodge's journal furnishes the best and most complete eyewitness account of the corps' ten-day experience marching and fighting. On the bloody field of Gettysburg, Dodge lost a leg and was temporarily taken prisoner.". |
