This book was written by Burke Davis, published in 2000, the narrative is 451 pages and is illustrated with black and white battlefield maps. With the exception of Robert E. Lee, no Confederate General as more feared or more admired than Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. Once derisively known as "Tom Fool", Jackson was an innovative battlefield strategist who struck terror in the hearts of Union Army commanders and inspired Confederate soldiers to victory after victory in the early days of the Civil War. A fanatically religious man, Jackson prayed at the start and conclusion of every battle, yet showed no mercy when confronting the enemy. Eccentric, enigmatic, and fiercely intelligent, he became the stuff of legend soon after he died from wounds suffered in the Battle of Chancellorsville. Hi untimely death would help to change the course of the conflict. Based on a wealth of first person sources, including Jackson's private paper and correspondences, and the memoirs of family, friends and colleagues, They Called Him Stonewall is a masterful portrit of the man behind the myth. This hard back book is in excellent condition, with a dust jacket that is in very good condition.
