CHANCELLORSVILLE CAMPAIGN
May 3, 1863. At daylight Hooker ordered the withdrawal of
Sickles's troops from this height, called Hazel Grove, key
position of Hooker's front after Jackson's flanking movement.
Promptly occupying it with Archer's Confederate Brigade, Stuart,
now in command of Jackson's Corps, ordered a heavy concentration
of artillery here. These guns enfiladed the Federal position at
Fairview and a division of Slocum's XII Corps entrenched to the
southeast. From this point about 10, a.m. Lee watched the
converging lines of Confederate gray sweep forward to force the
Federals northward beyond the turnpike.
