"The Military Campaigns of the Civil War Series... has led the way in challenging scholars and Civil War enthusiasts to rethink the way in which military history is analyzed.... An exceptionally strong collection." - Civil War Book Review"

This title deals with the campaign that made Stonewall Jackson a hero of the Confederacy. It explores the Shenandoah Valley campaign, best known for its role in establishing Thomas J. 'Stonewall' Jackson's reputation as the Confederacy's greatest military idol. The authors address questions of military leadership, strategy and tactics, the campaign's political and social impact, and the ways in which participants' memories of events differed from what is revealed in the historical sources. In the process, they offer valuable insights into one of the Confederacy's most famous generals, those who fought with him and against him, the campaign's larger importance in the context of the war, and the complex relationship between history and memory. The contributors are Jonathan M. Berkey, Keith S. Bohannon, Peter S. Carmichael, Gary W. Gallagher, A. Cash Koeniger, R. E. L. Krick, Robert K. Krick, and William J. Miller.
