A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Stonewall Jackson is based upon an examination of original sources, as far as these are available. The accounts of Jack sons early life and of the development of his personal character are drawn, for the most part, from Doctor Eobert L. Dabney sbiography and from Jackson s Life and Letters, by Mrs. Jackson. The Official Eecords of the war, of course, constitute the main source of the account here given of Jackson smilitary operations. Colonel G. F. E. Henderson s Life is an admirable study of his military career; Doctor Dabney sbiography, however, must remain the chief source of our knowledge concerning the personality of the Confederate leader. Written accounts by eye-witnesses, and oral statements made to the writer by participants in Jackson scampaigns, have been of great service in the preparation of this volume. Some of these are mentioned in the partial list of sources given in the bibliography. HENRY ALEXANDER WHITE. Columbia, S. C.
