Grant crossed the Rappahannock about fifteen miles above Fredericksburg and started towards the Wilderness. Lee, who bad wintered at Grunge, moved east to Inlereept him. It was critical time In the life of the Union. Notwithstanding Gettysburg the North was discouraged. Her sea commerce was badly disrupted, volunteering, wldeli had begun spontaneously ami with burning enthusiasm, Imd stopp'd and she had been forced to resort to Ihe draft. Roliticlal plotting was rife, demands to end the war were Insistent. Had Lee forced Grant hark across the Rappahannock there would have been a cry foi an armistice, backed by Europe. the two At the opening, in the Wilderness nnulcs met and began what some historians place among the 20 decisive battles in the history of the world. For three days they struggled for the strategic key to the situation, the Brock road for Grant the way to Richmoud, for Lee the means of blocking the movement and forcing the Federals again across the Rappahunnock. The two great armies swayed and fell back and advanced In turn. One hour the Brock road appeared to be Lee's, ngaiu tt was almost within Grant's grasp. Then, slowly, the tide of gray begun to sweep past the Brock road. Grunt's army fell back stubbornly, contesting every inch of ground. His career threatened, Grant sent reinforcements. These, too, gave way before the slowly uilvauelng rebels. But suddeuly the Con federates ceased to move forward. Concentrated effort was momentarily succeeded by hesitation and confusion., For tlie second time chance and fate had com bined against the fortunes of the South. A sin gle bullet, fired by one of bis own men, had struck down General Longstrcet within less than two miles from the spot where almost exactly one Stouewnll Jackson, Longs) reef's year before predecessor, also had been killed by his ovvo men Grant seized the situation and attacked. The Confederates withdrew to their first lines. The Brock road was Grant's. The next day he began moving over It towards Spotsylvania Courthouse, on the way to Richmond. Lee, to the east of hint, began to cut a road through the woods to meet him. At the Wilderness the Confederates had lost 10,641 men, aud the Federals 17.G(i8. The race for 'Spotsylvania, ten ntlles away, con tlnued with straggling encounters until the armies met at Bloody Angle where took place and small arms tight the greatest Ing that Is recorded In hietor.v. Here for 12 honrs nearly 60,000 men struggled for the possession of a section of land containing less than 500 acres, not larger tlian the average Virginia farm. At times the ground became cluttered with the dead and dying, l.tnes of Union troops advanced to the trenches and fired blank Into the faces of the Confederates who rose to defend them, whole companies hacked each other to pieces with bayonets, a tree 12 inches In diameter, a portion of which Is preserved In the Smithsonian Institute, was cut down, hit hy hit, by musket balls. The wounded could not be cared for and many were left on the field to die unattended. The fighting lo-e- hand-to-han- d at Bloody Angle entirely overshadowed Ihe fighting on the other seven miles of line along the buttle front lit Spotsylvania. After Bloody Angle the exhausted armies fought no more for nearly a week. Then Grant began a "siding movement toward Richmond and Lee moved nlong on parallel lines. In a short time both armies were on the North Anna river out of Ihe piirk urea. The Union forces had lost at Spot-i- j Ivatda 16..r77 men und Ihe Confederates propori Innately more, their killed and wounded being 1I,.'SS. The total losses for both sides In the livj battles on the park arCn was IH2.S11. The passage of the bill In congress last year which set aside this area, not ns a memorial to war Imt as a monument to the Iini.(HX) who gave their lives to the nation, marked the eulminatioii of an effort which began more than thirty years ago and which had been made h.v the people of both the North and the South. Although the effort was unsuccessful for many years these fields . battle were places to which thousands of Americans made patriotic pilgrimages every year and In the march of modern progress they found gulf halls instead of cun non halls whizzing across the fields. For famous old MannslioIJ hall on the battlefield of Fredericksburg, laid become a coun try club and the game of golf was being played over Ihe field once drenched with blond. Camion halls which had been unearthed In the vicinity were used ns tec markers. It was on the porch of this country club t hat President Coolidge stood last fall at the dedication of the new na tional park, and said: "The unanimous action of congress in passing the military parks hill and the Joint participation of the people of Imth the North and the South in currying into effect the law is another welcome demonstration in a long line of events not only that the war is over but that reconciliation Is becoming complete. General plans for the park which are now he Ing carried forward hy the government reveal that the project is one of the gi cutest of its kind ever 'undertaken. The Imifflers of the paik pro pose to strive for beauty. Scores of miles of line roads will tie built, lined with grass lawns and abutting t lie trenches in which the northern and southern armies met on the fields of Fredericks burg. Chancellorsville, Spotsylvania and the Wilderness. Along these roads will lie long lanes of blossoming trees, cherry trees, dogwood trees. Jnponira snd many other spec! mens, some of them very rare, the purpose being to so plant the trees that at all times of the year when any trees are In hloom many hundred of blossoming trees of one or another variety will offer a colorful drive longer and as beautiful as the fumed cherry drive at Washington. The roads will be well built ami about the satne width, but at spots the roads will swell Into large parks, with beautiful stone or rustic bridges in imitation of nature, and with memorials and markers placed upon them. Beside these areas, where the government will build large parks along t lie purkiike roads. It is expected that stales, organizations and individuals will establish parks on the roads as memorials. An effort will he made to get away from the stilted monuments peculiar to battlefields, and to have placed upon these fields ouly monuments and markers which have Inherent beauty and which are to be placed in SMits which can he i made attractive and where shrubs and flowers will a 'Id charm and there nooks and benches wl'i he provided for those w ho want to rest. Every advantage is io he taken of the natural landscape to add beauty to the roads and parks. In order thnt the battlefield park may not he marred by ungraceful monuments or shrubbery, the fine arts conimis'icn In Washington will pass upon every design and nothing but those wlihh they approve can be built. a f tut-rtiHLnc.

History stumbles over Itself In this neighborhood, gays a recent writer. Confederate soldiers fought In the same trenches that their Revolution-arancestors had used In same sections. Two battles hud to bo fought at Manassas before the curse of .vnr left that Held. Two were fought at Cold Harbor and two at Fredericksburg and two In the Wilderness thickets. In Fredericksburg reminders of Colonial, Revolutionary and Civil war days are to be found on the same block. The Wilderness stretches us grim und tangled today as In the days of the Ws; the Chancellor House, Spotsylvania Couri house, the trenches of Woody Angle must all appear very much as they did then. For this region was the very heart of the conflict between the two greutest forces of the Union and the Confederacy, the Army of Northern Virginia, defending Richmond and the Army of the Potomac, seeking to break Its way through the cordon of Gray to the Confederate cnpitol. The first fighting In the section took place In December, 18(12, when Burnside attempted to cap ture Itlchmond by way of Fredericksburg. First bombarding the town he crossed the Rappuhnn nock under cover of bis own guns and attacked Lee's entrenchment on Mar.ves Heights to the west of It After a battle that lasted all day, during which the Irish Brigade made Itself Immortal hy Its series of hopeless charges on the Heights and the Sunken Hoad at the foot of them, Burnside withdrew, recrosslng the river. He lost 12, POT) men and the Confederacy fi.877. Burnside, after Fredericksburg, was succeeded by Hooker who early the next spring moved his men up the north bank of the Rappahannock and croesed at three different places, marching by as many different roads towards Chaneellorsvllle, where his forces converged and started toward Fredericksburg. Through this move Hooker had gotten behind Lee's army while Sedgwick, with 28,000 men, was in front of It. .earning of the his army west and advanced to move, Lee meet Hooker, leaving behind a small force to The appose Sedgwick, still at Fredericksburg. Union forces planned to crush Lee between them Sedgwick broke through at Fredericksburg and advanced to Salem church where Lee sent rein forcemeats to his troops which had retreated he fore the artvaneing Federal. The two force clashed on May 3 and Sedgwick was driven back on the Rappahannock, crossing at Bunks Ford, seven miles above Fredericksburg.
