The Scouts of Stonewall: The Story of the Great Valley Campaign by Altsheler
"The Scouts of Stonewall: The Story of the Great Valley Campaign" by Joseph A. Altsheler is a historical romance written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the adventures of Harry Kenton, a young Confederate officer, during the American Civil War, particularly focusing on the strategic maneuvers in the Shenandoah Valley under General Stonewall Jackson. The opening of the book introduces us to Harry Kenton as he embarks on a scouting
mission through the Virginia woods. The atmosphere is imbued with a sense of adventure and danger as Harry, despite his youth, demonstrates skills honed from extensive field experience. He encounters a troop of Union cavalry, assesses their strength, and forms a plan to protect Confederate supplies in a nearby village. In a twist of fate, he meets Captain Philip Sherburne, and together they rally a group of southern soldiers to prepare for an imminent attack, highlighting themes of courage and valor against the backdrop of a divided nation. This early setup not only establishes the stakes of the impending battle but also the camaraderie and youthful zeal of soldiers engaged in a grueling war.
