From the Author:
I'm so delighted to have this new edition available, with 60 pages of new material, including new appendices on Jackson in Lexington, Jackson in memory, and Jackson memorials and monuments. There's also an appendix that explores some of the assumptions behind the Civil War's greatest "What If": "What if Stonewall hadn't been shot at Chancellorsville?" We've included updated maps courtesy of cartographer Hal Jespersen, and dozens of new pictures.This is the "Jackson statue at Manassas" edition of "Last Days"!
