Pages : 72
Book Description
Published here for the first time since its appearance in 1876 is one of the rarest of Civil War biographies."Stonewall Jackson's Way: A Sketch of the Life and Services of Major John A. Harman," is the only known extended work devoted to the life of Jackson's notoriously profane and proficient quartermaster, written by his friend and assistant quartermaster, Major Alexander M. Garber. Few original copies survive today, and those reside with only a handful of libraries and collectors worldwide. The book provides a rare look at one of the Civil War's most notable (and neglected) characters from the viewpoint of one who knew and worked with him. It takes the reader from Harman's early life in Staunton, Virginia, to the many bloody battles in which he served, and finally to his sad and untimely death at his home in Staunton. Garber is not ungenerous with detail about the military campaigns in which both Harman and Jackson participated, nor – in the style typical of so-called Lost Cause writings – is he in the least apologetic about the South's bid for independence.Added to this new edition is a foreword by Charles Culbertson and chapter notes.

Book Description
Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, the epic New York Times bestselling account of how Civil War general Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson became a great and tragic national hero. Stonewall Jackson has long been a figure of legend and romance. As much as any person in the Confederate pantheon—even Robert E. Lee—he embodies the romantic Southern notion of the virtuous lost cause. Jackson is also considered, without argument, one of our country’s greatest military figures. In April 1862, however, he was merely another Confederate general in an army fighting what seemed to be a losing cause. But by June he had engineered perhaps the greatest military campaign in American history and was one of the most famous men in the Western world. Jackson’s strategic innovations shattered the conventional wisdom of how war was waged; he was so far ahead of his time that his techniques would be studied generations into the future. In his “magnificent Rebel Yell…S.C. Gwynne brings Jackson ferociously to life” (New York Newsday) in a swiftly vivid narrative that is rich with battle lore, biographical detail, and intense conflict among historical figures. Gwynne delves deep into Jackson’s private life and traces Jackson’s brilliant twenty-four-month career in the Civil War, the period that encompasses his rise from obscurity to fame and legend; his stunning effect on the course of the war itself; and his tragic death, which caused both North and South to grieve the loss of a remarkable American hero.
