Solid Introduction to the Valley
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I recently purchased this book used as it has gone out of print. It is another of the books in the Great Campaigns series. I found this book to be an excellent introduction to Jackson's famous Campaign. I was surprised to learn how many times Jackson actually lost more men than the Union. The Strategic maps in this book were very well done, but the battle maps left something to be desired. A nice feature of this book for scenario designers was the appendix listing regimental strengths at each battle when known. 184 pp., 11 maps
I loved the battle maps and humour - a must read

What a wonderful and enthrilling book. Doc Martin really managed to let the reader feel like he'd be part of the whole story. From the beginning of the book the reader feels like standing right next to Stonewall Jackson, the tactical genius who rewrote military history during the Civil War. It is an absolute pleasure to feel and see the numerous photographs in the book become alive with the words of the author. The fact that beside Stonewall Jackson the book offers an exclusive view on all the other important personalities behind the scenes of the war and around the map-table makes the reader finish the book with an exhausted - because of the many details shown - but satisfied impression about this time period and it's heroes. I highly enjoyed analyzing the movements of the opposing forces on the charts and maps and I can only recommend Mr. Martin's other campaign books 'The Peninsula Campaign', 'The Chancellorville Campaign', and 'The Philadelphia Campaign', as well as 'Confederate Monuments at Gettysburg' and 'Gettysburg July 1'.
