About This Item
New York: William Morrow and Company, 1989. Book Club Edition. very good, very good. 375, illus., maps, index, stamp on rear endpaper. Applying a novelist's shaping hand to history, Bowers gives a dramatic closeup of one of the most important generals of the South. Relying on letters, diaries, memoirs, and eyewitness accounts, Bowers deftly and artfully unravels Stonewall Jackson's puzzling character--his orphaned childhood on a frontier farm, where he was raised by a rambunctious bachelor uncle; his career at West Point; his experiences in the Mexican War with many of the future generals on both sides of the Civil War; his two marriages; and his stint as an improbable professor at V.M.I.
