Howard (provenance letter) -- James T. Welsman (provenance letter) -- his daughter (provenance letter) -- Frederick W. Skiff (paper bookplate) -- Estelle Doheny (paper bookplate). FIRST AMERICAN EDITIONS, INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY STONEWALL JACKSON: ("Nov 3.. 1859 To George Lee Respectfully T.J. Jackson"). Thomas Jackson, the man who earned the title "Stonewall" for his defense at the First Battle of Manassas in the Civil War, served as a professor at Virginia Military Institute during the decade before the conflict. Just three weeks before leading an artillery battalion from the school to stand guard at the execution of abolitionist John Brown, Jackson inscribed this book to George Lee (Lee is erroneously identified in the provenance letter as Jackson's student and the son of Fitzhugh Lee). One and a half years later, Jackson was given a commission as a colonel in the Confederate Army. Rising to the rank of Lieutenant General by 1862, "Stonewall" emerged as the South's most effective commander until his death on the battlefield at Chancellorsville where he was accidentally shot by his own men. Jackson inscribed books are rare. We are not aware of any that have been offered at auction in the last 25 years. Sabin 35696, 35697; See Sadleir 1257, 1258.
