This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a thorough biography of Turner Ashby, who achieved immortality with his gallant ultimate sacrifice in the early part of the War Between the State's Shenandoah Valley Campaign. Ashby was the beau ideal of the Confederacy, and really its first hero -- the one who set the standard for the Southern warrior-knight defending home and hearth. The Chaplain of the 7th Virginia Cavalry, James B. Avirett, who knew Ashby intimately, gives us an exciting look at life in what came to be known as the "Laurel Brigade." Originally published in 1867, it is a book for the "arm-chair historian" and academic alike. While many reprints have been done, this one has been re-typeset by a real person, and not by Optical Character Recognition software. There are unobtrusive explanations of Latin phrases and other archaic terms to aid the reader, but these have been kept to a minimum. This edition contains a bonus chapter courtesy of the Reverend Doctor Rondel Rumburg, former Chaplain-in-Chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and presently scholar in residence at the Society for Biblical and Southern Studies in Appomattox County, Virginia. This is a book that will be read for pure pleasure and that will be referenced again and again. It belongs on the shelf of every Southern partisan.

CHAPTER XIII THE VALLEY CAMPAIGN '. BATTLE OF FRONT ROYAL. BATTLE OF WINCHESTER. DE- FEAT OF BANKS. JACKSON had covered the distance from Elk Run Valley to Franklin and back to Mount Solon, --more than 200 miles, --in eighteen days, and in the meantime he had fought the battle of McDowell. His men had been worked hard, and the opportunity came for two days' rest before the beginning of the campaign that made Jackson's fame so distinguished in the history of warfare. When he arrived at New Market on May 20, Jackson had in his command some 17,000 men, made up of his own division and the division of Ewell, with eleven batteries of artillery. The cavalry force under Ashby had been reinforced by the Second and Sixth Virginia regiments, under the command of General G. H. Steuart. With this large independent command, Jackson was in a position to make an immediate advance. General Johnston had suggested that the attack should be made on Banks' front at Strasburg, but Jackson, seeing the false position Banks had taken, determined to flank him by way of Front Royal, then get in his rear at Middletown, and block his retreat from Strasburg. He had accurate information of the strength of the Federal force at Front Royal. On May 21 Jackson broke camp at New Market and crossed the Massanutton Mountain through the gap that led direct to Luray. On the next morning Ewell, who had marched from Elk Run Valley, joined Jackson at Luray, from which point the two commands proceeded north and encamped that night on the road between Luray and Front Royal, about ten miles from the latter place. Up to that time neither Banks nor the Federal authorities in Washington had the least intimation of Jackson's position and were preparing for his advance on Strasburg by the.

This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the pen of versatile Frank Cunningham, who wrote the dynamic history of General Stand Watie’s Confederate Indians, comes another stirring book on heroic phases of the Civil War. Brilliantly written, highly researched—this is the biography of a cavalry general of top significance, proud of his men and his capable horse artillery. Recreated within these pages is the vibrant figure of Turner Ashby, astride his milk-white steed, dashing across the fields and hills of Virginia—now fearless and bold—now gallant and courteous-a man revered by his own people, respected by the enemy. Turner Ashby, born October 23, 1828, of an aristocratic Virginia family at Rosebank Plantation, Fauquier County, was descended from an English family of nobility, members of which had earned fame on other fields of battle. His father was Colonel Turner Ashby, who distinguished himself during the War of 1812. His brothers, James and Richard, served the South and all three men went to their deaths for the Cause in which they believed. Ashby, forsaking home and loved ones, put the ideal of Freedom from oppression uppermost in his mind with the thought that to die “upon the altar of (his) country” for one’s beliefs was paramount. Illustrated throughout with plates, including portraits.
