About The Book

With Blood Image, his compellingly original biography of Confederate cavalry leader Turner Ashby, Paul Anderson demonstrates that the symbol of a man can be just as important as the man himself. Renowned as a born leader, graceful horseman, and violent partisan warrior, Turner Ashby was one of the most famous fighting men of the Civil War. Rising to colonel of the 7th Virginia Cavalry, Ashby fought brilliantly under Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson during the 1862 Shenandoah Valley campaign until he died in battle near Harrisonburg, Virginia. These bare facts of Ashby’s wartime exploits scarcely convey the majesty and shaping force of the legend that grew around him while he lived and fought. Anderson explores how and why Ashby’s admirers in the Shenandoah Valley made him into their essential icon of home. Anderson also demonstrates that Ashby’s image — a catalytic, mesmerizing, and often contradictory combination of southern antebellum cultural ideals and wartime hopes and fears — emerged during his own lifetime and was not a later creation of the Lost Cause. Recognizing the power of Ashby’s fame as knightly horseman, family defender, natural man and savage, and Confederate warrior
