Stonewall Jackson as Military Commander follows the legendary battlefields that made him famous. Bull Run, Harper's Ferry, Cedar Run, and Antietam were among the pivotal sites where he made his mark. In action, Stonewall Jackson was cunning and bold, a tactical genius. Through dramatic flank marches and surprise attacks, he confounded the Union forces - and, at times, his own senior commanders. Yet, historically, what sets him apart is not his military skill so much as his iron will. Jackson defended his ground and slashed at the Yankee armies with unparalleled courage and determination, rallying his troops in the most dire circumstances. His dramatic defensive stands and tragic death are eloquently described in the text. Stonewall Jackson as Military Commander features fifteen maps, highlighting movements of Confederate and Union brigades. Thirty-four pictures and drawings of Civil War generals and battlefields also give added perspective to the man and the times.
