"The most detailed and meticulous tactical study of a crucial preliminary battle in the Second Manassas campaign that we are ever likely to see. The author presents a minute-by-minute account that will awe even the most demanding reader with its comprehensiveness. A tour de force of battle history.” - James M. McPherson, Pulitzer Prize winner.
“Cedar Mountain has been Stonewall Jackson’s least understood battle. No longer. Robert Krick’s brilliantly researched, minute-by-minute narrative is and will remain the definitive account of this bitter fight." - Stephen W. Sears.
Stonewall Jackson, a colorful and wonderfully eccentric genius, is perhaps the most fascinating of the Civil War generals. His strategic brilliance as demonstrated in his 1862 Shenandoah Valley campaign made him a legend in his own time, and he continues to capture our imagination event today.
At Cedar Mountain on 9 August 1862 Jackson exercised independent command of a campaign for the last time. In Stonewall Jackson at Cedar Mountain, Robert Krick untangles the myriad accounts by participants who fought the battle on both sides, and he offers an illuminating portrait of the Confederate general commanding his troops under the extraordinary pressures of combat.
Krick focuses on Jackson’s conduct and the operations of the Confederate army, paying due attention to the maneuverings of the Union army as well. Using a mass of both published and unpublished materials – including diaries, reminiscences, letters and newspaper articles – he constructs the most detailed tactical narrative to date of the confrontation at Cedar Mountain and Jackson’s victory there. The book is an excellent battle history as well as an analysis of the controversy surrounding Jackson’s management of the fight.
