Jedediah Hotchkiss (November 30, 1828 – January 17, 1899), known most frequently as Jed,[1] was a teacher 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.
- ^ McElfresh, p. 244, states that he used the shortened form of his name "almost exclusively" and his gravestone refers to him as Jed.
