Stonewall Jackson: The Man, the Solider, the Legend Hardcover - 1997
by James Robertson (Editor)
The passage of 130 years has failed to temper the fascination and respect for Confederate General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson. This major new biography reveals not only Jackson the brilliant military strategist, but also Jackson the man of humble beginnings. 17 photos. 14 maps.
From the rear cover
The passage of 130 years has only deepened the fascination and reverence for Confederate general Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson. He ranks today as among the half-dozen greatest soldiers that America has produced. Military academies in both hemispheres still teach his tactics. Revered by his men, respected by his foes, Jackson became seemingly invincible. When he learned of the general's fatal wound, Robert E. Lee sent his "affectionate regards", saying, "He has lost his left arm but I my right arm". Jackson's early death in 1863 was the greatest personal loss suffered by the Confederacy and one that permanently crippled the wartime South. This eagerly awaited biography is based on years of research into little-known manuscripts, unpublished letters, newspapers, and other primary sources. It offers for the first time a complete portrait - not only of Jackson the brilliant military strategist and beloved general but also of Jackson, the man of orphaned background, unyielding determination to conquer adversity, and deep religious convictions.
