Description

Accounts of three men who served with the elite Virginia infantry regiments

No student of the American Civil War can be unaware of the inspirational figure of the Confederate General Thomas ‘Stonewall’ Jackson. His was a superb military mind and an accidental arm wound was such a severe blow to his cause that it prompted the Confederate military commander, Robert E. Lee, to declare: ‘He has lost his left arm, but I have lost my right.’ In fact, more tragically for Lee and the South, the wound proved fatal. Jackson was an inspirational leader of the first rank and the men of his ‘foot cavalry’ justifiably thought highly of their own reputations and demonstrated their prowess repeatedly on campaign and battlefield. This unique Leonaur edition concerns the service of three of ‘Jackson’s Men’. The first and largest account by Casler is well known and highly regarded. It tells the story of a confederate soldier at war with few holds barred, for Casler boldly demonstrates that to survive he had to be as much a rogue as he was a rebel. Also included in this book are two smaller accounts concerning two other members of the Stonewall Brigade, Hugh White and Randolf Fairfax, which would have been unlikely to have been republished individually. The Casler edition in this book contains the expanded text of the second edition, published in 1906. This Leonaur edition contains the illustrations which accompanied both versions of Casler’s text.

Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
