STALEMATE ALONG THE RAPPAHANNOCK

In which we continue our march toward Second Manassas by looking at how Robert E. Lee forced John Pope to withdraw from his line along the Rapidan River, but then Lee’s advance stalled in front of Pope’s new position along the Rappahannock.

Our book recommendation for this episode is “The Second Bull Run Campaign: July-August 1862” by David G. Martin.
