Stonewall Jackson swept away an isolated Union division under the command of Nathaniel Banks and made his presence in the northern Shenandoah Valley so frightful a prospect that it triggered an overreaction from President Lincoln, yielding huge benefits for the Confederacy. Gary Ecelbarger has undertaken a comprehensive reassessment of those battles to show their influence on both war strategy and the continuation of the conflict. Three Days in the Shenandoah answers questions that have perplexed historians for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBypassing long-overused sources that have shrouded the Valley Campaign in myth, Ecelbarger draws instead on newly uncovered primary sources--including soldiers' accounts and officers' reports--to refute much of the anecdotal lore that for too long was regarded as fact. He narrates those suspenseful days of combat from the perspective of battlefield participants and high commanders to weave a compelling story of strategy and tactics. And he offers new conclusions regarding Lincoln's military meddling as commander in chief, grants Jefferson Davis more credit for the campaign than previous accounts have given him, and commends Union soldiers for their fighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten with the flair of a seasoned military historian and enlivened with maps and illustrations, \u003ci\u003eThree Days in the Shenandoah\u003c\/i\u003e reinterprets this important episode. Ecelbarger sets a new standard for envisioning the Shenandoah Campaign that will both fascinate Civil War buffs and engage historians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Ecelbarger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806151862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806151861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Gary Ecelbarger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994910490879,"sku":"9780806151861","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15ad8932-daca-461f-9ed8-bdad81bff4c8.jpg?v=1683332897","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/three-days-in-the-shenandoah-gary-ecelbarger-9780806151861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
