THE BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG
OR
THE BATTLE OF ST. MARY’S HEIGHTS

VIRGINIA – DECEMBER 11-15, 1862

Holding a superior position along St. Mary’s Heights, General Lee held off repeated attacks by Union General Ambrose ‘Boogie Nights’ Burnside. Getting nowhere, Burnside decided to capture the Confederate capitol of Richmond, a major tourist destination. To thwart Burnside, Lee unleashed a secret weapon in the form of an alien super hero named ‘Bruce.’
