From the publisher

Lives of (Thomas) Jackson are plentiful . . . but none, for all its brevity, surpasses Jean Fritz’s . . . She places him firmly within the context of an extraordinary knotted period of American history. . . . Stonewall gives us both the strangeness and the greatness.–The New York Times Book Review.
