Jackson's Valley Campaign 1862
(Animated battle map) A strategic overview of the Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1862. A classic campaign of maneuverability and a text book example of how to defeat your superior enemy in detail.
It was said that Jackson would always carry 3 books with him, a dictionary, a bible and Napoleon’s Military Maxims.
I found an awesome quote that appears to prove the napoleon bit.
A writer by the name of Antoine Arnault asked napoleon how was he able to achieve victory during his Italian campaign of 1796-1797. That campaign had strong parallels to Jackson's Valley Campaign in 1862. Napoleon responded:
“With Few Exceptions, he said, it is the most numerous troops that victory is assured. The art of war therefore consist in finding oneself with superior numbers at the point where one wishes to fight. Is your army less numerous than that of the enemy? Do not leave the enemy time to unite his forces: surprise him in his movements, and moving rapidly on the various corps which you have had the art to isolate, arrange your manoeuvres In such a way that you can oppose your whole army to army divisions in every encounter. It is in this way that with an army half the strength of that of the enemy you will always be stronger than he on the field of battle.”
And This pretty much sums up what Jackson was able to accomplish some 60 years later.
