Publisher's summary

“In this brief sketch of our great Southern hero, I have endeavored to portray, amid the blaze of his matchless military genius, the unchanging rectitude of his conduct, the stern will-power by which he conquered all difficulties, his firm belief in an overruling Providence, and his entire submission to the Divine Will. These traits of character were the cornerstones upon which he reared the edifice of his greatness, and upon which the young people of our day will do well to build.”—Mary L. Williamson, 1898

Critic reviews

“There is plenty of action for thrill seekers and many examples of leadership's principles for students. The simple vocabulary and short sentences provide an ideal introduction to the subject for younger readers, and the book's quality qualifies it as literature worthy of an expert's attention….James reads with the intention of the author to produce four informative and entertaining hours.” ( AudioFile)

Well written but left a lot to be desired

This is an excellent summery of Jackson’s life but is very much so just wave tops. Nothing too in depth.

Historical Truth

This was a great read on General Jackson. As it still brings to light the other view of the civil war. It is hard to find readings that actually bring the other side's opinion to light. It was “Very Commendable”.

An amazing man!

I thought the book was well written. The reader did an excellent job putting forth the words as I believe the author had intended.

Old-time panegyric

19th century work of Jackson worship, very much in the spirit of Confederate post-bellum Lost Cause literature.

Well read but slowly.

Thanks to Audible for offering this volume free of charge.

Very interesting man of God

Just like Oliver Cromwell king David And others Stonewall Jackson was a man of prayer And that's why He won battles.

The book is way too short.
