Jackson fought poverty and sadness, rising to become one of the most extraordinary figures in American military history. His clever Civil War strategies were unmatched. While holding the line during one battle, he earned the nickname "Stonewall", and became a legend.

From the world's most acclaimed Civil War historian, this is the complete story of Jackson's life.

Know real History

The statues of this man are divisive. Learn who he was, a noble man. A person of who we should aspire to model no matter your politics, a man of duty, honor and principal. Listen and learn your historical context.

Throughly enjoyable

I enjoyed the way the author described Jackson’s early years and also dispelled some myths of the mythic Stonewall. Highly recommended.
