The Story of a Cannoneer Under Stonewall Jackson by Edward A. Moore plunges listeners into a frontline Confederate artilleryman’s account of the Army of Northern Virginia, offering an immediate, human perspective on the Civil War.

Rich in tactical detail, camaraderie, and the daily realities of life behind the guns, the narrative balances soldierly memoir and historical reflection while avoiding sensationalism. Framed by introductions from contemporaries and accompanied in print by evocative portraits and illustrations, Moore’s work reads as both biography and war story—documenting leadership, discipline, and the fog of 19th-century warfare. He captures the strategic context of the Army of Northern Virginia, the art of artillery, and the human cost of campaigns without romanticizing conflict. Ideal for Civil War enthusiasts, military history listeners, and anyone drawn to first-person wartime memoirs, this audiobook provides a vivid, primary-source window into Confederate artillery service, Stonewall Jackson’s command, and the lived experience of soldiering in one of America’s defining conflicts.
