Jessika Hoover (jessalittlebooknerd) | 21 comments 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!

Tom | 4 comments this one comes recomended to me Stonewall Jackson : The Man, the Soldier, the Legend , haven't had a chance to read it yet though.

Jan C (woeisme) | 160 comments 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.

Corey | 1 comments 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.
