Victory Rode the Rails by Mort Kunstler ~ In the center of interest General Jackson sits on Little Sorrel, giving orders to his loyal aide, Lieutenant Colonel "Sandy" Pendleton, who is accompanied by Jackson's chief surgeon, Dr. Hunter McGuire. General Jackson, of course, still wears his blue VMI uniform. The Piedmont sign is clearly visible, and the tender of the locomotive bears the name of the Manassas Gap Railroad on its side. Overcrowding forced a large number of troops to ride atop the train cars next to where the brigade's horses are being loaded. Everything shown in the painting is supported by primary sources - eyewitness accounts, diaries, official records and memoirs. It's quite poignant, when you think about what awaited these young men at First Manassas. Also, here is Jackson - just another officer in a pre-war blue uniform - on the verge of becoming the famous "Stonewall." To me, it was an extraordinary event that begged to be recorded - an absolutely absorbing, colorful expression of our American heritage.
