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.
