Magruder's Peninsula campaign in 1862.
The Peninsula campaign, conducted on the Confederate side by General John Bankhead Magruder, though unduly subordinated in the already-written history of the war, conspicuously comprised a rapidly-recurring series of some of the most brilliant achievements of the soldiership of the South.
The Peninsula, between York river on one side and James river on the other, with Hampton Roads, or the southern extremity of Chesapeake Bay, making its seaboard boundary, is, in some of its associations, as historic ground, perhaps, as any similar-sized district of country within the limits of the United States.
The sad site of Jamestown, in its almost vestigeless ruins, is in itself a poem of pathos, carrying us back to the first successful attempt to establish an English colony in the New World, with all the perils and privations, all the heroic and romantic reminiscences of the contests between the white man and the red man, interwoven with that event

The Valley after Kernstown.
Jackson's faith in his little Army—Orders to enforce discipline.
The following letters (now published for the first time) from Jackson to Major (afterwards Colonel) A. W. Harman, who was commandant of the post at Staunton, which was the base of Jackson's operations in the Valley, throw interesting light upon the situation in the Valley early in 1862, and strikingly illustrate Jackson's attention to details.
They are, as will be seen, accompanied by explanatory notes by Colonel Harman.
The originals are in the handwriting of Jackson.
