The Library of Virginia is pleased to announce the release of the
updated finding aid to the Dabney-Jackson Collection.  This new finding
aid includes several items that were not listed in the previous finding
aid.  The collection consists of the papers of the Dabney family of
Hanover, King William, and Louisa Counties, Virginia, and the papers of
Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (1824-1863).  These papers were
compiled by Charles William Dabney (1855-1945) from various sources
including his father, R. L. Dabney (1820-1898), Stonewall Jackson's
chief of staff who used the papers to write Life and Campaigns of
Lieutenant-General Thomas J. Jackson (1866).  

To access the finding aid, visit The Library of Virginia's homepage at

Collection, and you will then be taken to the catalog record for the
