He has published eight books on the Civil War, two of which were History Book Club selections. Among Jones' publications are Campbell Brown's Civil War: With Ewell and the Army of Northern Virginia (2001), Historical Dictionary of the Civil War (2 vols., 2011), and Lee's Tigers Revisited: The Louisiana Infantry in the Army of Northern Virginia (2017). Jones has also written numerous articles for various publications, including the New York Times and BBC History Magazine, and is an award-winning outdoor writer. He and his wife, Carol, have two daughters, Laura and Amie.
It is a significant source and a readable narrative. Jones deserves credit for making it more widely available. --Richard J. Sommers, author of Richmond Redeemed: The Siege of Petersburg, The Battles of Chaffin's Bluff and Poplar Spring Church, September 29-October 2, 1864 The intelligence and insight of this work come from a genuine aura of immediacy that few such accounts possess. It will stand as an indispensable primary source in Confederate military history. --T. Michael Parrish, Linden G. Bowers Professor of American History, Baylor University With an eye for events and details, Seymour was able to capture on paper the big events and little incidents. This is a work that any student of Lee's army will want to have. --James I. Robertson Jr., Alumni Distinguished Professor of History, Virginia Tech University
