1866 Stonewall Jackson 1ed Life & Campaigns of Confederate General US CIVIL WAR Life and Campaigns of Lieut.-Gen. Thomas J. Jackson (Stonewall Jackson) by Robert Lewis Dabney is a detailed biography of the Confederate General, enriched with firsthand accounts and primary documents provided by Jackson s family and the Confederate government. Dabney, who served on Jackson s staff and knew him personally, highlights Jackson s Christian character and his military strategies, presenting him as a heroic figure undiminished by the Southern loss in the Civil War. The book offers an authoritative look at Jackson s life, aiming to portray a sympathetic view of the Southern cause through the lens of Jackson s experiences. It retains a polemical tone, defending the principles upheld by the Confederacy, and stands as a resource for understanding this figure and the era from a Southern perspective.
