From dust jacket: Elisha Franklin "Bull" Paxton was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia, and was a second cousin Sam Houston. After graduating from Washington College, Yale University and the University of Virginia Law School, he went north to practice law and engage in land speculation in Ohio. Paxton returned to Virginia in 1854 and opened a law office at Lexington. He and Stonewall Jackson were good friends, both resided at Lexington and both attended the Presbyterian Church. Paxton was an ardent secessionist, and when the war started was elected a lieutenant in the "Rockbridge Rifles" (Company B, 5th Virginia Infantry Regiment). He fought as a company officer at 1st Manassas, and his gallantry at this battle led to a position on Jackson's staff. In mid-October, 1861, Paxton was appointed major of the 27th Virginia Infantry Regiment. He was not re-elected major of his regiment in the re-organization of the Confederate Army in the spring of 1862, and again joined Jackson's staff, serving as Chief of Staff for the Corps during the summer and fall of 1862. Jackson recommended Bull Paxton for brigadier general and command of the famous Stonewall Brigade in the fall of 1862. Paxton assumed command of the Brigade on November 6. He was the fourth commander of the Stonewall Brigade, following in order, General Stonewall Jackson, Richard Garnett and Charles Winder. Paxton commanded the Brigade at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. Paxton was killed at age 35, leading his men during the second day (May 3, 1863) at Chancellorsville. He was temporarily buried in the yard of the farmhouse near Guiney's Station (Virginia) in which Jackson died. Later his body was moved to the Lexington Cemetery where he was buried a few feet from his old commander. The simple epitaph on his tombstone reads, "It is well with thee." Paxton was a Christian gentleman, a dedicated soldier and a devoted father and husband. His letters bear witness to al these attributes, and are an important contribution to the War Between the States. Civil War, United States History, U. S.

Inscribed by author on front free endpaper "To Edward W. Nichols, my best of friends it takes pleasure in persenting this volume. John Gallatin Paxton" BOOK DESCRIPTION: 8vo, vi, 114 pgs, Printed, Not Published, 1st ed. / 1st issue. Portrait frontis. Orig. cloth. Gilt titled cover and spine. Top edge gilt. CONDITION DESCRIPTION: Light rubbing to cover, gilt bright. Interior is clean and tight. With clear mylar wrapper. CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: Very scarce Confederate history, seldom offered for sale. Here with a nice presentation to the former Superintendent of VMI. When Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861, Paxton enlisted as a Lieutenant in the Rockbridge Rifles, which became a company of the 27th Virginia Infantry. This regiment of Shenandoah Valley volunteers and 4 other Virginia regiments were brigaded under the command of Brigadier General Thomas J. Jackson. At First Bull Run, Jackson and his command earned enduring fame as "Stonewall" and the "Stonewall Brigade." In October 1861 he was elected Major of the 27th. Nicknamed "Bull," he lacked the ability to gain favor with his men and in the spring of 1862, he failed reelection. Jackson, who liked his fellow Lexingtonian, appointed him to his staff as assistant adjutant general with the rank of Major. He served Jackson during the campaigns of 1862, temporarily acting as chief of staff. On November 1, with Jackson's endorsement, the staff officer was promoted to Brigadier General and assigned to the command of the Stonewall Brigade. Jackson advanced him over all the regimental commanders, whom Jackson believed were not qualified for the post. The officers and enlisted men vehemently protested the appointment. Colonel Andrew Jackson Grigsby, commander of the 27th, led the protest, eventually resigning in disgust. He never had the opportunity to vindicate his selection by Jackson. The Stonewall Brigade held a reserve position at Fredericksburg, Virginia, in December 1862. At Chancellorsville, on May 2, 1863, when Jackson's Corps routed the Union XI Corps in a surprise attack, his brigade again acted as support. The next morning, as the brigade prepared to attack in the early light, he was killed instantly by a minie ball. REFERENCES: DORN.
