From Bull Run (Manassas), where Thomas Jackson earned his famous nickname, to tragedy at Chancellorsville, The Life of Stonewall Jackson is the story of how the unassuming Virginian became General Robert E. Lee’s right arm and most trusted Confederate commander.

The Life of Stonewall Jackson relates key events in the life of the Civil-War hero from his impoverished childhood, to his education at West Point, auspicious debut in the Mexican-American war, and later professorship at the Virginia Military Institute. The biography also provides a detailed look at the events and battles that allowed the “great faculties of his soul” to bloom before his tragic death on the field of battle in 1863.

5.0 out of 5 stars History as it happened!

I love these historical first-person accounts of our history. Although written with more than a little bias of the "lost-cause"... Nothing written by a contemporary historian compares to the personal accounts of actual events written while fresh in the mind of the author. Highly recommend!

This book is so very interesting and readable. While it is obviously written from a southern viewpoint, it is accurate in its details and credible, since it was written soon after the events occurred. Highly recommended.
The high character of Jackson vividly illustrates the sad ignorance of those pc forces who now want to destroy statutes of past hero’s.

Clearly written by a contemporary of Jackson who idolized his subject. It sometimes makes it difficult to take when there is no balance to his treatment of this "great" man! Valuable, at some level, for a perspective on how folks of the South felt about their heroes.

Brutally prejudiced view of Jackson. His military greatness is lost in the child like worship of the man. Poor at best.

DR H. Enjoyed the quick pace of 1861-1862 - campaigns in Virginia .Relating the terrible death tale of five officers shot by their own sentry in darkness wasdistressing. What a blow for General Lee! I would love some Virginia maps . I had difficulty understanding the Southern armies moving So fast. Truly DRH
