1. My favourite Civil War photograph. Confederate troops halted on the march at Frederick, Maryland on their way to the battle of Antietam.

2. Not painted as Confederates of course but the advancing figures in this image are 'AC9, Confederate advancing in kepi'. Lovely paint job by Aly Morrison.

STONEWALL JACKSON'S FOOT CAVALRY

In the 1862 Valley Campaign Jackson's army covered 676 miles in 48 marching days, an average of 14 miles per diem. Several marches were over 25 miles long. Jackson had strict rules for marches. He rested his men for several minutes in every hour. At the halt Jackson liked to see his men lie flat on the ground to rest. Some of the longer marches (in Miles) are listed below. The full list is available in the source or in Henderson. 

Source. ‘Stonewall Jackson as Military Commander’, John Selby, BT Batsford, 1968. Selby greatly admires Jackson and this book is a well written and well researched in depth study of the man. Well worth reading, particularly if, as I do, revere Jackson as a great military commander.
