| Signed Mort Kunstler Print "So Close to the Enemy" This print is personally signed by Mr. Kunstler especially for our ball! Print size: 24 X 30 On December 12, 1862, as the massive Northern Army of the Potomac prepared to assault the Southern lines at Fredericksburg, General Robert E. Lee concluded that he needed additional reconnaissance of the enemy - and decided to do it himself. Lee apparently had no qualms about reconnoitering close to the Union position. Accompanied by his "right arm" - General Stonewall Jackson - and Major Johann Heros von Borcke, Lee conducted reconaissance in the snow. The next day, the giant Northern army he had observed so carefully would come forward in an attempt to destroy Lee's army. Though the Federals held numerical superiority, the battle that followed was one of the greatest disasters to befall the Union army. The unknown irony of the battle was that the Confederate commander, camouflaged in the snow-covered landscape, conducted a personal reconnaissance within easy range of the Union artillery. Lee, Jackson and von Borcke, were "so close to the enemy" that the outcome of the battle could have been changed by a single vigilant Northern observer. Undiscovered in his bold foray, Lee directed one of his most significant victories of the war. For more info on this print, click here. |
