Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there had any books they could suggest about Stonewall Jackson. I'm very intrigued by him and I would like to know more about him, but I'm not sure where to begin among all of the books out there. Any help would be appreciated!

this one comes recomended to me Stonewall Jackson : The Man, the Soldier, the Legend , haven't had a chance to read it yet though.
I think the James Robertson book cited by Tom is pretty good. I also have his autobiography, From Manassas To Appomattox. I am also reading Jeffrey Wert's General James Longstreet: The Confederacy's Most Controversial Soldier. But Robertson's is a complete biography from childhood.
Another recommendation is The Class of 1846: From West Point to Appomattox: Stonewall Jackson, George McClellan, and Their Brothers. It contains biographical sketches of Jackson and McLellan and others and is a good read. Jackson is a primary character thoughout the narrative.
