Fredericksburg, 1862
?If you make the attack as comtemplated it will be the greatest slaughter of the war; there isn't infantry enough in our whole army to carry those Heights if they are well defended.?
- Col. P.C. Hawkins, 9th N.Y. USA

?General, we cover that ground now so well that we comb it as with a fine-tooth comb. A chicken could not live on that field when we open on it.?

- Col. E.P. Alexander, 1st Corp Artillery Chief, CSA
