Item description from seller

STONEWALL JACKSON PUBLISHED BY G.W. DILLINGHAM COMPANY IN 1893 is being offered from a private collection of confederate history. FREE SHIPPING within contiguous U.S. The edition of John Esten Cooke's Stonewall Jackson published by G.W. Dillingham Co. was released in 1893 (HathiTrust). John Esten Cooke’s Stonewall Jackson is a deeply personal, contemporary biography of Confederate General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson (Encyclopedia Virginia; Barnes & Noble). The text tracks Jackson’s life from his modest, orphaned childhood through his hard-fought education at West Point (Barnes & Noble; Liberty University). It covers his early service in the Mexican-American War and his eccentric decade spent as a strict, deeply religious professor at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) (Barnes & Noble; Encyclopedia Virginia). 2. Detailed Civil War CampaignsThe heart of the book details Jackson's meteoric rise to fame between 1818 and 1863 (Barnes & Noble). Cooke tracks the major actions that defined Jackson's career (Google Books): The First Battle of Bull Run (Manassas): Where Jackson and his brigade earned the famous nickname "Stonewall" (Barnes & Noble). The Shenandoah Valley Campaign: His legendary, rapid-marching tactics that confounded multiple Union armies (Barnes & Noble).The Seven Days Battles and Second Bull Run: His role as General Robert E. Lee's "right arm" (Barnes & Noble; Goodreads). Chancellorsville: His final, brilliant flanking maneuver, concluding with his tragic death by friendly fire in May 1863 (Barnes & Noble). 3. The Enigmatic Character StudyCooke was one of the first writers to introduce the reading public to Jackson’s highly complex, contradictory personality (Bauman Rare Books). He describes a man who was a fierce, Old Testament-style "God of wrath" on the battlefield, yet intensely pious, formal, and gentle in private life (Encyclopedia Virginia). Cooke balances Jackson's strategic genius with his well-known personal eccentricities, like his rigid posture, extreme discipline, and intense religious devotion (Encyclopedia Virginia; Liberty University). Cultural Impact: Birth of the "Lost Cause" HeroHistorically, the book is less of a detached, modern objective history and more of an emotional tribute (Bauman Rare Books). Written first in 1863 while the war was raging and expanded immediately after in 1866, the book served as a cornerstone for the post-war "Lost Cause" mythology (Bauman Rare Books; Encyclopedia Virginia). Cooke intentionally converted the horrific, bloody realities of the war into a chivalric, tragic romance, effectively cementing Stonewall Jackson as an idealized, legendary Southern martyr for generations to come (Bauman Rare Books; Encyclopedia Virginia). Condition is fair - slight separation of binding along spine.
