Accounts of three men who served with the elite Virginia infantry regiments
No student of the American Civil War can be unaware of the inspirational figure of the Confederate General Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson. His was a superb military mind and an accidental arm wound was such a severe blow to his cause that it prompted the Confederate military commander, Robert E. Lee, to declare: 'He has lost his left arm, but I have lost my right.' In fact, more tragically for Lee and the South, the wound proved fatal. Jackson was an inspirational leader of the first rank and the men of his 'foot cavalry' justifiably thought highly of their own reputations and demonstrated their prowess repeatedly on campaign and battlefield. This unique Leonaur edition concerns the service of three of 'Jackson's Men'. The first and largest account by Casler is well known and highly regarded. It tells the story of a confederate soldier at war with few holds barred, for Casler boldly demonstrates that to survive he had to be as much a rogue as he was a rebel. Also included in this book are two smaller accounts concerning two other members of the Stonewall Brigade, Hugh White and Randolf Fairfax, which would have been unlikely to have been republished individually. The Casler edition in this book contains the expanded text of the second edition, published in 1906. This Leonaur edition contains the illustrations which accompanied both versions of Casler's text.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Описание: Excerpt from A Printed Specimen of Caslon Old Style Type, With Appropriate Ornaments: Being the First of a Series of Books Showing the Many Beautiful Types in the Composing-Room of Redfield-Kendrick-Odell Co In this crisis a small group of famous London printers, among whom were William Bowyer and John Watts, cast ing about for some one capable of raising the printing art out of the slough of despond in which it seemed hopelessly mired, hit upon William Caslon as the one likely to succeed. Then in the full flush of ambitious young manhood, the latter, who was born in the west of England in I 692, had added the making of bookbinders' tools and stamps to his regular work of engraving gun-locks and barrels, and it was the fine workmanship of his bookbinders' letters that convinced his printer friends of his ability to cut the type faces of which they were so desperately in need. Like many another who has achieved distinction in the world, Caslon began in a garret in Helmet Row, Old Street, London. There, with 500 which Bowyer, Watts and a third printer advanced him to make a start with, he set up in the business of type-founder in 1720. Success smiled upon him from the beginning. The exact sequence of events in his little establishment is somewhat befogged, but he seems to have cut in that first year a pica Roman and Italic and also to have made at the order of the Society for Pro moting Christian Knowledge a fount of Arabic on English body for use in a Psalter and New Testament, which were published several years later. In I 722, it is related, he cutthe beautiful fount of English, which four years afterwards was used in the famous three - volume edition of the works of John Selden, the celebrated lawyer and antiquary. This noble fount, says Talbot Baines Reed, historian of English type-founding, marked a distinct turning-point in the career of English typography, which, from that time for ward, entered on a course of brilliant regeneration. By I 730 Caslon had so far justified the early hopes and expectations of the friends who had financially backed their faith in him that he had distanced all competitors, both in the excellence of his type faces and in the scope of their sales. The earliest of his broadside specimens which has come down to us, printed in 1734, displays thirty-eight founts, all except three of which were cut either by the master himself or under his close personal supervision.
