valley campaign where he had taken 12 or 14,000 men and aten 1000-plus union armi l over the shenandoah valley in virginia. to me what w so interesting about h was the transrmation was so fa a it was so dep and so profound, and much more so than anyone else, bause by the time stonewall is famous, nobo has heard of lee yet. lee is still a sidekick to jeff das, grant h still not made his rise. so 14 months after the war stts, itas newall jackson. how was he able to do that. >> largely through sheer mitary rillnc heoveds fter than anybody even believed you could move them. >> bute had no backgroun to do that, rig? >> wel he did. he wt to westpointe. he g out of westpointe and he immediately foht in th mexican wa this was in 1887. so hwas a military guy but he

had spent much of the peace time as thi physics teacher at virginia mitarinstitute lexington, virgia. he just hadt had that opportunity. the war does interesting thins. a lot of these ious senators and congressmen, businessmen, got to the warand becamest failures and coward and inmpetence. somehow the war pued out o him greatness that wasn't apparent before. even though he did know a few thin about the ar. >> sohen what happened? >> wl, so jacks, as isay, makes thncredible transformation, becos very faus. and th what happens, ally, is aartnership with rob e. lee th changes the war me than athing else. they had ts kind of high command teamwork that no o had seen before in the war. and i think -- the next thing in

the badest sense thaappens to jackson is that when jackson finishes the valley campaign th makes himfamous, he goes to richmond whe there is th huge unioio army, 120,000 men, about to take the city of richmond. hehe's only 60,0 confederate the cfederate gold has en loed on the trains, it's ready to go, jeff's family has been shippeto the carolinas. everything is ready all. from that me, two months ter, t capital bing threatened is no longer in richmondbut washington, d.c. this is all thanks to lee's daring and jacksos brilliant maneuver. thecapitol that, you have union army beating this fus retreat intowashington, d.c. this is largy e work of lee and jason. andhat's when becomes over

the top. similar victories, tikes nobody had ever seen, in a that was being renvented with these types of mus kets, with these types of weapo. most general stumbl their way intoit,ut what happened to him, ultimately? >> uimately he and lee have thr greatest victory at chancellcha chancellorsville. the nht aer his march aund thunion, he is shot by his own men. quiteonestly-- generals shldn't go in front their lines. and in the daness, he wa shot

by the 18th north carolina. his a was amputed and he was taken to a ple to recover,d he did fine for a few ds and th pneumonia set in and pneumonia killed m. but the interesting thingbout jason's death,hich i write a lot about in the book, and this is something that's been totally lost to ameri, eve to people who read history, is ththat it s the first eat sort of for a fallen leader in american story. now, thastops most people becaus we think kennedy or we think of king or we think of lincoln oray rooseveltlt. but the first one was jackson. it's overshadowed bit two years ter by another death, linc was larger in scale. but if you look at the foug fathers, by th time they died, they were past their prime. if you -- the ly compable i can in really, is if shington had died in the

balefield at yorktown, it would have absolutely taken the wind outof the ils of the cause. but, of course, he didn't e. so jacksonwahe first one. you this extordinary period mournin in the south for all th dths of all the other peop and all t funerals of theoung men tt would ner happen,ould nevever come home. and en jason wnt home by trn,s lincoln did lat,t wa that symbolic natur othe urney. all th freig was in there, and itasver verdramatic and i think. skz is sound like this ll be a best-seller as well. o see you. hankou. nicesee you again, too. congp xt, vicky ward drops by th her book "the ball", an lar on some
