Battle of Salem Church near Bank's Ford, Virginia : May 3rd & 4th 1863; a series depicting the Chancellorsville Campaign, this map gives details of the area around Salem Church, where Union Gen. Sedgwick's forces, en route from Fredericksburg to reinforce Hooker near Chancellorsville, met Confederate opposition under Wilcox. Lee's quick assessment of the potential of the situation led him to redeploy his forces in the hope of destroying Sedgwick's corps. While prevented from joining Hooker, Sedgwick was successful in holding his line and in withdrawing his corps to the northwest, crossing the Rappahannock River near Banks' Ford.
