Stonewall Jackson: Old Blue Light in the Civil War

By: Johnson, Taft

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. After Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson is the most celebrated Confederate commander. Military historians consider Jackson to be one of the most gifted tactical commanders in United States History. His Valley Campaign and his envelopment of the Union Army right winng at Chancellorsville are studied worldwide even today as examples of innovative and bold leadership. He excelled as well in other battles: the First Battle of Bull Run (where he received his famous nickname), Second Bull Run, Antietam and Fredericksburg. Jackson was not universally successful as a commander, however, as displayed by his weak and confused efforts during the Seven Days Battles around Richmond in 1862. This must-have book for Civil War enthusiasts recounts Jackson's life and revisits the vast impact he had on the war and American history.
