Rrslminw our review Of this So-callcd
"history," which the School Board OF Rch-
moud prcscribcs Tor our children to study,
we come next to Stonowall ,lackson'S bril-
liant Valley campaign. which startled the
world; sent cons 'cruatinn nll through the
North; revived the dropping hopes of the
Contcderatcs. and was the iiltiug prelude oi
that series of splendid victories which
raised the siege of Richmond and hurled
back the immense horde gathered inr rur
conqucSt--a campaign which has been Tho
study and admiration of military critics "
every nation.
Hear what Mr.. Swinon tells our southern
youth of this campaign. He says (pp. H6otl( !
"While the Army OF the Potomac was
lying waiting, the Confederate commander
sent StoneTall Jackson OH raid northward.
,)uckson first struck Il blow at Fremont.
which caused that officer 10 retreat. He
then fell upon Banks's force at Strasburg,
and furnishing it severely, sent 1t to the Po-
tomac. McDowell's army also had to retire
from fredericksburg. SO as to oppose Jack
son. When Jackson had thrown back the
three Union forces he put back to join Lee.
The Union forces of Mcdowell and Banks
raced Jackson up the Shenandoah valley,
but they could not head him of.
On his return from this raid Jackson was
ordered by Lee to move secretly down upon
the right flank of the Union army at Me-
chanicsyiles" :.
The pupil would get from this the idea
that Jackson made raid" in Which, after
overpowering a small force of the enemy, he
ran off when anything like an equal 10 re
appeared against him-rln SO fast that Ere
mont and Shields could not catch hlm-and
secretly escaping through some mountain
hollow, succeeded in joining Lee at klch-
mond.
This account sounds strangely indeed TO
one whose proud privilege it was to have
belonged to the "foot cavalry" and to have
followed our great leader during those glo-
rouS days.
How different from this miserable stuff,
which the School Board of Richmond pre-
scribes for our children, is the true story OF
these heroic deeds. After his brilliant en-.
n,rcmcnt at kernstown, in which, though
cnmpelled to retreat, he inflicted such heavy
los, on the enemy that they did not dare to
nress him. but recalled the column they had
sent to attack Johnston's Hank as he leli back
| from Manassas, Jackson moved leisureiy up
tLc Valley to Browns Gap, where ne quietly
awaited the coming OF Ewcll with his spien'
did division. Leaving EWell TO watch BANKS,
hc then made a dash at Fremont au'ahce,
defeated Milroy Mt McDoweil, D.rst "sall,
