June, 1863: The Battle of Brandy Station – By Sandy McBride

Encouraged by the success of his army in defeating Union forces at Chancellorsville, and convinced that the stifling heat of the approaching summer would force Ulysses S. Grant to give up his quest to capture Vicksburg in the west, in mid-May of 1863 General Robert E. Lee presented a new idea to President Jefferson Davis and the Confederate government.  He would invade the north.

Confederate Secretary of War James Seddon proposed sending General James Longstreet, one of Lee’s most trusted commanders, into Mississippi to reinforce General John Pemberton at Vicksburg.   Lee, however, disagreed.  Longstreet was 1,000 miles from Vicksburg and the southern railroads were mangled, making it very difficult to move a large number of men and needed materiel to the west.  If Pemberton could hold out long enough, Lee theorized, Grant would give up on Vicksburg.

Community Remembers Robert Fusco – By Harold Wessell

BALLSTON SPA, June 18– There are journalists who go to war to follow soldiers as war correspondent. Robert A. Fusco, Sr. of Waterford, who passed away here on Dec. 9, 2005, went to war as a soldier, and returned to be a journalist for most of his adult life – and one who at times wrote thoughtfully about soldiers in the many different places that were touched by World War II.  At the same time, it came through how he had been touched by it.

Long after his military experience, in 1965 he would write: "‘Wow!' – Nothing militarily or scientifically profound in that statement. But it was the reaction of one young GI as he rounded a street corner and had his first look at hundreds of blocks of nothing – Hiroshima, 1945."
