CWDD: Hooker's Flying Column

[Jeremy Bevard]

In this episode, we learn about the concept of a light division or flying column that was attempted in Spring 1863 by General Hooker. Historian Andrew Roscoe shares his research to tell the tale of this aspect of the Chancellorsville campaign. Of course, we also learn how this experiment turned out! Thank you to the Historic Fort Wayne Coalition for providing the location for this episode at Historic Fort Wayne, Detroit.
