The fourth book in this well written, but little known Civil War series. Although written a century ago, the author writes in a succinct, modern style that will appeal to both the novice and those particularly interested in the American Civil War.

This book concerns the adventures of a young confederate soldier serving under general Stonewall Jackson in the famed Shenandoah Valley campaign.

The author writes historical fiction, yet each book in the series is closely based in fact. The reader will not only enjoy the work, but gain knowledge about the war. ( )
