Robert Chilton in Southern VictoryEdit

Robert Chilton was a colonel in the Confederate States Army during the War of Secession. Chilton was attached to the Army of Northern Virginia and was adjutant to General Robert E. Lee during Lee's Philadelphia campaign in the fall of 1862. After hearing that Thomas Jackson had turned the Army of the Potomac's right flank at Camp Hill, Chilton and Lee discussed plans to exploit the victory and end the war. Chilton had an extremely low opinion of George McClellan--as did just about everyone.^[1]
