The Shenandoah Valley in Virginia was the breadbasket for the Confederacy throughout most of the US Civil War. Although General Stonewall Jackson, as a professor at the Virginia Military Institute, before he was commissioned in the Confederate army, he knew little about the Valley he would be commanded to defend. With that in mind, he asked mapmaker J. Hotchkiss to prepare detailed maps of the Valley. Hotchkiss had been a resident of New York who moved before the war to Virginia. He decided to join with his neighbors as a Confederate and was a self taught map maker. His excellent maps were a crucial tool for Jackson.
