CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: Jones served as a private in the 13th Virginia Infantry up through the winter of 1861-1862, during which he received his commission as chaplain. Over the course of the conflict, Jones advanced to the position of corps evangelist, and helped to form the Chaplains Association of the Army of Northern Virginia. He became acquainted with numerous Confederate officers, including Robert E. Lee and Thomas Stonewall Jackson, while he moved among the men. REFERENCES: KRICK 257: "Jones had the benefit of acquaintance with Lee while chaplain at Washington College, and he had been Secretary of the Southern Historical Society for years. This volume contains much significant material concerning all aspects of General Lee's career" NEVINS II pg 68: "A tender, affectionate portrait by a former Washington College chaplain; contains many important Lee letters and dispatches." EICHER 263: "This is an early and eulogistic portrait of the Confederate commander, but one that is historically valuable nonetheless. Despite the book's uncritical nature, it does contain information of specific value not easily located elsewhere.".…
