Stonewall in the Valley

In the spring of 1862, the South won an impressive string of victories against the much larger Yankee armies in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.  The Confederate general behind these victories was the brilliant Stonewall Jackson.  His famous "foot cavalry" were known for performing marches of incredible distances in lightening fast time and then delivering powerful blows to the unsuspecting Union armies who were caught off-guard.

Jackson's Valley Campaign prevented the north from reinforcing their army which was attacking the Confederate capital at Richmond and it opened the way for a Southern invasion into Union territory.  In all, three different federal armies of more than 50,000 men were kept at bay by Jackson's force of only 17,000 dedicated men.  It was a campaign that showed the true spirit of the Southern soldier!
