In re-reading an old book, the following quote struck me as interesting.
"Jackson kept his own counsel to such an extent that he once moved an army of about 25,000 men across complex terrain by instructing his generals to lead their troops from crossroad to crossroad - at each spot sending them further directions as to which road to take."
From The Civil War: Strange and Fascinating Facts. Burke Davis. 1982.
Fact or fiction?
If so, when and where?
If so, why might he have chosen to do this, at that time and place?
Thanks for any references, info, etc.
