About This Item
1866 Stonewall Jackson 1ed Life & Campaigns of Confederate General US CIVIL WAR
"Life and Campaigns of Lieut.-Gen. Thomas J. Jackson (Stonewall Jackson)" by Robert Lewis Dabney is a detailed biography of the Confederate General, enriched with firsthand accounts and primary documents provided by Jackson's family and the Confederate government. Dabney, who served on Jackson's staff and knew him personally, highlights Jackson's Christian character and his military strategies, presenting him as a heroic figure undiminished by the Southern loss in the Civil War. The book offers an authoritative look at Jackson's life, aiming to portray a sympathetic view of the Southern cause through the lens of Jackson's experiences. It retains a polemical tone, defending the principles upheld by the Confederacy, and stands as a resource for understanding this figure and the era from a Southern perspective.
This first edition includes several diagrams of battlefields and a steel-engraved portrait of Jackson.
