Stonewall Letters about Jackson's forced marches

[O. A. Williams]

I'm wondering if anyone has any links to letters or journals from soldiers who described Jackson's long and strenuous forced marches, like the ones in the Valley campaign? I'm doing my own searching but figured this is as good a place as any to check

The book Stonewall In The Valley by Robert Tanner uses quotes from letters, journals, reports about this.

If you haven't yet read it, I heartily recommend Robert Tanner's excellent book Stonewall in the Valley: Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's Shenandoah Valley Campaign, Spring 1862.
