Frank Vandiver, Mighty Stonewall, 1st ed., Signed

Description

Frank Vandiver’s Mighty Stonewall is the classic Stonewall Jackson biography of the 20th Century.

Written with passion, excitement, and scrupulous scholarship, Mighty Stonewall presents a complete evaluation of the personal life and military career of this remarkable man. Jackson’s pre-Civil War career is described in detail. His command of Confederate armies is re-evaluated from previous hagiographic biographies. Jackson’s personal life and religious beliefs form an important aspect of this systematic study. Brilliant period dust jacket design, too!

Stonewall Jackson’s life is continually reviewed by new generations, but Vandiver’s Mighty Stonewall will remain a standard by which others are judged.

Very good. Signed by author.
