Jackson's Campaign against Pope in August, 1862 [1883] [Annotated]

Confederate Lieut.-General Jubal Early provides a detailed personal narrative of the Civil War battles (in which he participated) involving Union General John Pope and Confederate General "Stonewall" Jackson during August 1862 in which Pope was defeated at every turn. Early weaves an almost hour by hour narration of the key movements and personalities involved in the Seven Days' Battles, Cedar Run, Second Manassas (Bull Run), etc. His assessment was that, "In this campaign against Pope, General Jackson displayed greater ability and resources than on any other occasion, because the circumstances by which he was surrounded required such display; and he fully justified the confidence reposed in him by General Lee." — Early made this presentation to the First Annual Meeting of the Association of the Maryland Line–Marylanders who served in the Confederate military–in Baltimore, on February 22, 1883.
