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.
After the war Hotchkiss was as successful as he was during the war. He accepted a part time teaching
position at Augusta Female Seminary in
Staunton
and began surveying. He moved to
Stanton
and opened
an engineering firm named "Jed Hotchkiss Mining and Consulting Engineer." Being so familiar with the
geography of the state, he was able to steer lucrative foreign and Northern investments to the most appropriate places.
He wrote extensively on geology in western
Virginia
and
at one time controlled 60,000 acres of coal fields.
Building a railroad to the fields and founding a town for the workers where some of his achievements.
This volume includes examples of his civilian map work.
