Continuing the argument set forth in the "Life of Gen. Lee for Children," that we can advance primary education and impress lessons of morality upon children in no better way than to place before them the careers of our great men, I now give, in simple words, the "Life of Gen, Thos. J. Jackson." -- Preface.

Over the past 120 years scores of books have been written about Lt. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. No books, however, have been written about his widow, Mary Anna, who lived another fifty years following her husband's death, and who was honored by five U.S. presidents. This book also details the life of Julia, who was but six months old when her father died, and was followed almost daily by newspaper reporters, both North and South, who sought to learn as much as possible about the daughter of the famed Stonewall Jackson. It further expounds on the lives of Julia's son and daughter, the only grandchildren of Stonewall Jackson. The book further covers the life of Col. Thomas J.J. Christian, Jr., Stonewall's great-grandson, who not only possessed many of the same attributes of his famous ancestor, but whose life was tragically cut short during World War II, leaving a widow and six month old daughter.

Acclaimed military historian Bevin Alexander offers a provocative analysis of Stonewall Jackson’s military genius and reveals how the Civil War might have ended differently if Jackson’s strategies had been adopted. The Civil War pitted the industrial North against the agricultural South, and remains one of the most catastrophic conflicts in American history. With triple the population and eleven times the industry, the Union had a decided advantage over the Confederacy. But one general had a vision that could win the War for the South—Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson. Jackson believed invading the eastern states from Baltimore to Maine could divide and cripple the Union, forcing surrender, but failed to convince Confederate president Jefferson Davis or General Robert E. Lee. In Such Troops as These, Bevin Alexander presents a compelling case for Jackson as the greatest general in American history. Fiercely dedicated to the cause of Southern independence, Jackson would not live to see the end of the War. But his military legacy lives on and finds fitting tribute in this book.
