395. Fredericksburg, December, 1862. 395．弗里德里克斯堡（1862年9月）
Burnside found Lee strongly posted on Marye's Heights, which rise sharply behind the little town of Fredericksburg on the southern bank of the Rappahannock River. 伯恩赛德发现李的军队驻扎在玛雅高地，这个地方就在拉帕汉诺克河南岸的小镇弗里德里克斯堡后面，
Burnside attacked in front. His soldiers had to cross the river and assault the hill in face of a murderous fire-and in vain. 他命令军队发起正面攻击。他的士兵不得不渡过河迎着猛烈的炮火向高地发起猛攻。
He lost thirteen thousand men to only four thousand of the Confederates. 进攻失败，他损失13000人，而南方联盟的军队只损失4000人。
"Fighting Joe" Hooker now succeeded Burnside as commander of the Army of the Potomac. "好战的乔"胡克被任命为波特马克军的新司令。
We must now turn to the West, and see what had been doing there in 1861-1862. 现在我们必须看一下西部的情况，看一下西线从1861年到1862年发生了哪些战斗。
