Stonewall in the valley : Thomas J. 'Stonewall' Jackson's Shenandoah Valley Campaign, spring 1862 / Robert G. Tanner.

Summary:

The Valley Campaign conducted by Maj. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson has long fascinated those interested in the American Civil War as well as general students of military history, all of whom still question exactly what Jackson did in the Shenandoah in 1862 and how he did it. Since Robert G. Tanner answered many questions in the first edition of Stonewall in the Valley in 1976, he has continued to research the campaign. This edition offers new insights on the most significant moments of Stonewall's Shenandoah triumph. -- from Amazon.com
