Additional Reading
G.F.R. Henderson, Stonewall Jackson and the American Civil War, 2 vol. (1898, reissued in 1 vol., 1994), was the classic life of Jackson and story of the war in Virginia for more than 40 years. It was superceded by Douglas Southall Freeman, Lee’s Lieutenants: A Study in Command, 3 vol. (1942–44, reissued 1997), also available in an abridged ed. by Stephen W. Sears, 1 vol. (1998). Frank E. Vandiver, Mighty Stonewall (1957, reprinted 1989), offers an objective and penetrating analysis of Jackson the man, with less detail of military activities. More recently, John Bowers, Stonewall Jackson: Portrait of a Soldier (1989); Byron Farwell, Stonewall: A Biography of General Thomas J. Jackson (1992); and S.C. Gwynne, Rebel Yell: The Violence, Passion, and Redemption of Stonewall Jackson (2014), are fine biographies. James I. Robertson, Stonewall Jackson: The Man, the Soldier, the Legend (1997), is today the definitive account of Stonewall Jackson.
