Nevins notes that Henderson's "well-done study" was issued in no fewer than 18 editions. And that "while not achieving impartiality on Jackson, Henderson viewed the war with a detached objectivity" CWB II, 62. Robert Krick writes of this, "Colonel Henderson's ground-breaking biography strides through Jackson's life with an unapologetically military approach. The author's extensive correspondence with surviving members of his subject's staff, and with other Confederate veterans, buttresses his narrative and his conclusions" In Taller Cotton 106. While frequently reprinted, the first London edition is uncommon, and extraordinarily rare in this condition. Howes H-408 "aa"
