Conquering The Valley: Stonewall Jackson at Port Republic

Comments:

Updated 3/17/03 This is the first addition to my collection focusing on the Valley Campaign, and what better author is there to choose than Robert Krick? None, when we're talking about Jackson and his Valley Army. I have now read this book and found it to be an excellent work on the twin battles of Cross Keys and Port Republic. Krick does a fine job describing the action in exciting detail. The maps are very, very well done and go down to the regimental level, always a plus in my book. Also, a note of caution is in order. Apparently some maps in the original hardcover edition were missing a lot of text labels. I don't know if this has since been fixed, but be aware of this flaw when looking at the hardcover edition.
