FROM DISASTROUS FREDERICKSBURG TO BLOODY GETTYSBURG- the route of the Army of the Potomac was marked by death and destruction. Careers were made and broken and the earth was scorched. But the war had its curious human moments too: "Along the banks of the Rappahannock the Yankee pickets carried on trade with the Confederates across the water. The 46th New York sent a little sailboat across with a letter inviting the rebels to come over for a visit in the evening. "One day a Confederate picket yelled across to a group of Federals: 'Say, you Yanks, why didn't you shoot General Hill? He stood right here half an hour ago.' "The Federals replied that they were sorry to have missed a chance; they had seen him but supposed he was simply an officer of the guard and not worth shooting." BRUCE CATTON IS "THE BEST WRITER OF THE CIVIL WAR TO DATE" - Stephen Longstreet
