Hi Larry,

With the northern papers aware of JEB's movements into the north, just what attempts by the Union were made to at least attempt to stop him?? Anyone?

& Thanks for all these pre Gettysburg posts!

Regards,
MD

Just my opinion but I think by this date in 1863 Joe Hooker is still scared shitlless by Chancellorsville and wants nothing to do with Lee or the ANV.
