Elihu S. Riley collected anecdotes of and incidents in the life of Jackson from those who served with him, both in his civilian and military life. Reading of these anecdotes and incidents will prove more valuable in understanding the life of this Christian Virginia gentleman than almost any modern history of Jackson’s life or his military campaigns. In fact, many modern histories do not even include this book in the bibliographies. Numbers of these anecdotes and incidents about him have never before see the light of print.
