Stonewall Jackson and the American Civil War is a biographical and military history book written by British soldier & author G. F. R. Henderson and originally published in 1898, the author's most famous work. It follows Confederate Lt. General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson's actions and results during the American Civil War, from his West Point and VMI days, his Valley Campaign of 1862, as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under General Lee, and up to his wounding and death after Chancellorsville. The twenty-five chapter work took eight years to complete and was first printed in two volumes, but since has been reprinted several times with most copies available as one complete book.

[edit] Reprints and versions
The original version of this work was published in 1898 by London, New York, Longmans, Green and Co. It came in two volumes and contained 33 individual maps.[1] The next published version came in 1900 from the same press, also in two volumes, and included an introduction by Field Marshal Viscount Wolseley.[2] Two exact reprints of the original would follow in 1911[3] and 1919[4] (after Henderson's death in 1903), both too by the same publisher. Next would be three reprints of the work with the introduction by Viscount Wolseley (after his death) in 1926,[5] January 1936,[6] and July 1937,[7] all again by the same press. However, the 1926 edition would be the last to be split up into two volumes.
