Excerpt from Stonewall Jackson
The present biography of Stonewall Jackson is based upon an examination of original sources, as far as these are available. The accounts of Jacksou"s early life and of the development of his personal character are drawn, for the most part, from Doctor Robert L. Dabney"s biography and from Jackson"s Life and Letters, by Mrs. Jackson. The Official Records of the war, of course, constitute the main source of the account here given of Jackson"s military operations. Colonel G. F. R. Henderson"s Life is an admirable study of his military career; Doctor Dabney"s biography, however, must remain the chief source of our knowledge concerning the personality of the Confederate leader.
Written accounts by eye-witnesses, and oral statements made to the writer by participants in Jackson"s campaigns, have been of great service in the preparation of this volume. Some of these are mentioned in the partial list of sources given in the bibliography.
