The author recounts his military experiences serving as a private, and later captain, under the famous Confederate chieftain, Lieut.-Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. His memoirs commence with his enrollment at the Virginia Military Institute in 1860, his enlistment in the 37th Virginia Infantry Regiment, his participation in many of the leading Eastern battles, such as Cold Harbor, Sharpsburg (Antietam), and Gettysburg, and his capture and subsequent prison life at Point Lookout, Maryland. Also included as an appendix is a first-hand account of the opening engagement of the Battle of Chancellorsville, and the wounding and death of Jackson, written by his aide-de-camp, Capt. James Power Smith.
It is only right that the children of the South know the full meaning of their birthright. Nothing will stir Southern boys to become true and noble men more than to know the history of such men as Lee whose trust was ever in the God of battles, and of Jackson who never fought before he prayed. The object of this little book, prepared for Tennessee schoolchildren in the early Twentieth Century, is to refresh in the minds of the young the principle which inspired their ancestors — the principle of dying for what they believed to be right.
