SULINThis book is a must for anyone wanting a clear understanding of Stonewall Jackson's Valley Campaign. The details bring to life the complexities of the terrain and how Jackson used the author's knowledge of the terrain in which he was operating to his advantage in order to maintain the upper hand and keep thousands of Union troops occupied and; at times; baffled.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Civil war topographical surveyor.By Mike PollardA good read for surveyors or history buffs. What life was really like back then.

Great read and a great reference bookBy Dr. Robert MasseyJedediah Hotchkiss (Make Me A Map of the Valley...) is to HQ of the "Second Corps"; ANV as Albert Speer (Inside the Third Reich) was to Hitler and his close advisors. One feels like the proverbial "fly on the wall"; though with Hotchkiss; the wall is made of canvas. The best day to day record of the Second Corps; the hart of the Army of Northern Virginia. I might catalog this journal as a primary reference text. I am a history professor working on a biography of a Virginia MD who was assigned to a regiment in the Second Corps. I now have a mental documentary of the day to day war from the headquarters and those leaders who ultimately made the decisions. They decided the actions that meant life or death; victory or defeat; and ultimately Success or Failure of "The Cause."
