Description: "The Quotable Stonewall Jackson"Selections from the Writings and Speeches of the South's Most Famous General Ships the next business day By Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook 422 pages Illustrated paperbackPublished by Sea Raven PressAccording to the typical pro-North history book, General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson was a humorless slave-owner, a mediocre Confederate general, and a traitor to the United States, who fought to preserve slavery and take over the U.S. government. Here in the South we know that nothing could be further from the truth. Actually Jackson was a fun-loving father and husband, a superb military officer, and a non-slave owning Unionist who detested slavery and joined the Confederate army to preserve the original Constitution. But you needn't take our word for it. Lochlainn Seabrook, a cousin of Jackson, has compiled over 500 footnoted quotes by the General, culminating in a one-of-a-kind work that refutes even his harshest critics. Profusely illustrated with rare photos and illustrations, this book covers all of the salient points of Jackson's Phort but amazing life.It includes examples of his private letters, his military dispatches, and his personal views on everything from government, the military, the Union, and slavery, to secession, marriage, child rearing, and education. Discover the real "Old Jack," as his soldiers lovingly called Stonewall, in his own words in this biographical tour de force encompassing the years 1824 to 1863. Here Seabrook takes the reader from Jackson's Huckleberry Finn-like days as a runaway orphan on the Mississippi River, to his youthful struggles at West Point; from his danger-filled exploits in the Mexican-American War, to his well earned professorship at the Virginia Military Institute; from his two dramatic marriages and three children, to his mortal wounding by friendly fire at the Battle of Chancellorsville.Also included is a time line of Jackson's life, a list of his Civil War engagements, a Jackson family tree, unusual facts about the General, a bibliography, and several letters written by his second wife, Mary Anna Morrison. The author's copious and detailed notes provide excellent context to the abundance of Jacksonian material. Lochlainn Seabrook is a winner of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Medal for his masterpiece, "A Rebel Born" the author of over 50 non-fiction books and a Kentucky Colonel.This title is also available in hardcover.
