The Scouts of Stonewall: The Story of the Great Valley Campaign
1914
The Great Valley Campaign of 1862 remains one of the most dazzling feats of military strategy in American history. Joseph A. Altsheler brings it to thrilling life through the eyes of Harry Kenton, a young Confederate scout whose courage and quick thinking illuminate the chaos and grandeur of war. In the spring of that pivotal year, Stonewall Jackson leads his outnumbered army through the Shenandoah Valley in a series of maneuvers so bold they seem impossible. Harry Kenton moves through the Virginia woods like a shadow, gathering intelligence, evading Union cavalry, and rallying Confederate soldiers for engagements that could turn the tide of the war. His youth is no liability; it is his greatest asset, granting him the energy, daring, and naivety necessary to attempt what experienced officers might deem reckless. This is adventure fiction at its old-fashioned best: a story of loyalty, danger, and the terrible beauty of a nation at war with itself. Altsheler writes with the breathless pace of a boyhood favorite, never losing sight of the human cost beneath the romance. For anyone who has ever wanted to ride beside Jackson's foot cavalry through the Valley, this is the book.
