Stonewall Jackson and the American Civil War (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by G. F. R. Henderson, Ben Wynne (Introduction)

Overview

This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading. In the great constellation of Confederate heroes, no star shone brighter than General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, the subject of G. F. R. Henderson's epic biography Stonewall Jackson and the American Civil War. For the South, Jackson was the greatest military icon of the early Civil War years and a larger-than-life legend. From 1861 to 1863, Jackson, in his determination and daring, seemed to personify the cause for which Southerners believed they were fighting, just as his death seemed to foreshadow the war's ultimate outcome.
