| Summary | "The War; 'Stonewall' Jackson, His Campaigns and Battles, the Regiment as I Saw Them" by James H. Wood is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the Civil War from the perspective of a captain in the 37th Virginia Infantry, focusing primarily on the life and campaigns of General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. The narrative aims to preserve memories of significant events and personal experiences during this tumultuous period, emphasizing the valor and sacrifices of the Southern soldiers. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the growing tensions leading up to the Civil War, vividly recalling his time as a cadet at the Virginia Military Institute and the palpable shift in sentiment surrounding secession. Wood describes events such as the rallying of cadets for the cause of the Confederacy, the influence of prominent leaders like Major Jackson, and the intense atmosphere that characterized the movement toward war. The opening sets the stage for an exploration of the personal and collective experiences of the regiment, thoughts on leadership, and the unfolding of key battles, with an aim to memorialize those who fought and fell during those critical years.
