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 Un…iversity 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.

The classic reference work that provides annually updated information on the countries of the world. It provides an authoritative snapshot in time for the middle of the last quarter of the Twentieth Century, capturing a wide range of statistical, geographic, economic, cultural, and historic information on the countries of the World. John Paxton was the former Editor of âThe Statesman's Yearbook for many years and author of several respected reference books, died at the age of 93. He played a crucial role as Joint Treasurer of English PEN, with Peter Elstob, when the Secretary, David Carver, died unexpectedly in 1974, leaving PEN with an overdraft of £10,000 at The Midland Bank. The impression John gave of being "a safe pair of hands" was entirely merited. He introduced the item State of Play to the agendas of the Finance Committee, which lent a soothing aura of cricket on the village green to the chaotic condition of PEN's finances. He also entered into the life of International PEN., enjoying the opportunity Congresses gave for meeting delegates from other Centres, who were generally impressed by the appearance he gave of being a typical English Club man. The Statesman's Yearbook is a one-volume reference book published annually since 1864 providing information on the countries of the world. It is published by Palgrave Macmillan. In the middle of the nineteenth century, the British Prime Minister Robert Peel suggested to Alexander Macmillan (of the family publishing house) the publication of "a handbook presenting in a compact shape a picture of the actual conditions, political and social of the various states in the civilised world." The first volume was published for 1864. Frederick Martin was its foundational editor, and presided over the book for twenty years, during which time it became established as a leading reference work. According to Steinberg in 1866, the words Martin used in the preface of the first issue of the Statesman's Year-Book still applied to every volume a century later: "The great aim has been to insure an absolute correctness of the multiplicity of facts and figures given in the Statesman's Year-Book. For this purpose, none but official documents have been consulted in the first instance, and only when these failed or were manifestly imperfect, recourse has been had to authoritative books and influential newspapers, magazines and other reliable information." His successor, well-known Scottish journalist John Scott Keltie, took over in 1883. A talented author, editor and scholar and a passionate geographer, he introduced the insertion of thumbnail maps of each country and large political world maps. The cartographic illustration of networks of communication began in 1899 when two maps displayed the railways, navigable waters and telegraphic lines of Africa. After Scott-Keltie's death in 1927, his sometime co-editor Mortimer Epstein took over and edited the work for over twenty years including, remarkably, during World War II when the book continued to be published yearly, despite the rationing of paper. Epstein died in 1946, and his successor Henry Steinberg was faced with the challenge of producing a new Statesman's Yearbook for an ever-changing world, as new countries came into being and others ceased to exist. His passion for the task, sharp mind and amiable nature meant that The Statesman's Yearbook swiftly adapted to the new world order. Steinberg continued as Editor until 1969 when his assistant, John Paxton, took over. Brian Hunter edited between 1990 and 1997 and Barry Turner took over in 1997. 120th Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing thus.
