About four thousand captured Union soldiers were collected at Guiney’s Station after the Battle of Chancellorsville. General Robert E. Lee ordered the wounded General Stonewall Jackson to be taken away from the field hospital at the front lines near Chancellorsville to a safer location at Guiney’s Station. The location is notable as being the place where Jackson died on May 10, 1863.   Inventory Number: REL 089 / SOLD
