THEY CALLED HIM STONEWALL A LIFE OF LT-GENERAL THOMAS J. JACKSON, C.S.A. BY BURKE DAVIS EXCELLENT CONDITION Original Dust Jacket in Bro-Dart Cover Sharp, Bright, Copy Fine, Solid Binding Throughout Contains Nice Battle Maps PUBLISHED BY THE FAIRFAX PRESS, NEW YORK, IN 1988 Award-Winning author and historian Burke Davis brings the color, vivid characterization and immediacy of the best fiction to this fascinating biography of Stonewall Jackson. He was one of the most brilliant and enigmatic figures not only of the Civil War, but of all military history as well. From the remarkable Valley Campaign through the Seven Days, Manassas, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and the masterful, though tragic, sweep at Chancellorsville w Jackson was felled by his own soldiers, this is a compelling narrative of men and war. Through diligent research over several years, Burke Davis uncovered previously unknown facts about Stonewall, and is able to correct many misapprehensions- though he glosses over none of the faults and eccentricities that gave Jackson the unique personality that rose so well to the challenge of the Civil War. In this volume are also found other memorable personalities, character portraits of the men in Blue and Gray who spring to life fully realized. Stonewall Jackson’s story is full of the challenging facts of human history. was a read more
