Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, And The Army Of Northern Virginia, 1862

This volume unites two classic Civil War campaign studies by the foremost southern historian of the immediate postwar era: History of the Campaign of Gen. T. J. (Stonewall) Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and The Army of Northern Virginia in 1862. Together they comprise a brilliant, breathtaking chronicle of the high tide of the Confederacy in 1862: Jackson’s dazzling generalship in the Valley Campaign; Lee’s bold offensive during the Seven Days Battle; the stunning Confederate victory at Second Manassas; Lee’s decision to carry the war to enemy territory; the capture of Harper’s Ferry; the bitterly fought Battle of Sharpsburg; and the bloody, humiliating Federal defeat at Fredericksburg.
