Stonewall Jackson and the Shenandoah Valley Campaign
The article recaps Stonewall Jackson's 1862 Shenandoah Valley operations. It highlights his two guiding tactics, his strategic deflection of 80,000 Union troops with a 20,000 Confederate force, key May battles at McDowell and Front Royal, the Port Republic and Cross Keys actions, and his ability to maneuver between Fremont and Shields while maintaining the initiative and delaying Union relief efforts.
