Stonewall Jackson and the American Civil War is a 1898 biography of Confederate States Army general Stonewall Jackson, including his actions during the American Civil War. Written by British Army officer and author George Francis Robert Henderson, it became Henderson's most well-known work. The book chronicles Jackson's life, beginning with his education at the United States Military Academy and the Virginia Military Institute, to his role in the 1862 Jackson's Valley campaign, as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee and up to his death after the Battle of Chancellorsville in 1863. The twenty-five chapter work took eight years to complete and was first printed in two volumes, but since has been reprinted several times with most copies available as one complete book.
