Jedediah Hotchkiss (November 30, 1828 – January 17, 1899), also known as Jed, was an educator
and the most famous cartographer and topographer of the American Civil War. His detailed and
accurate maps of the
Shenandoah Valley
are credited by many as a principal factor in Confederate
General Stonewall Jackson's victories in the Valley Campaign of 1862.
Almost all of the Confederate maps in the
Official Records
produced by the U.S. War Department
were those drawn by him.
