Shenandoah Valley 1862 : Stonewall Jackson Outmaneuvers the Union PDF
by Clayton Donnell, James Donnell
Illustrated by Adam (Illustrator) Hook
Part of the Campaign series
Description
Major General Stonewall Jackson became a legend for his actions in Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, in 1862.
Marching over 600 miles in 48 days, he, along with his army, won five major battles.
His forces, never numbering more than 17,000 men, overcame a combined Union force of 50,000, demonstrating his ability to maneuvre his troops and deceive his enemies into believing he possessed the advantage.
Charted throughout these pages is the journey leading up to, and including, Stonewall Jackson's final victory, all the while performing better than anyone could have expected.
The campaign became a showcase for the mobility and success of Jackson's outnumbered men, who held the larger Union forces pinned down and off balance, consequently allowing Jackson to force march his men to take part in the Seven Days Battles that saved Richmond and gained him victory.
