Title: Fascinating Book About a True "Character"
Review: I re-read this recently and enjoyed it all over again. The best biography of Jackson is probably Frank Vandiver's Mighty Stonewall, but Robertson's is a close second, and he does provide a little more detail than Vandiver did. Jackson is one of the most intriguing figures in American history, and Robertson does him justice, revealing this eccentric who was a devout Christian, a hypochondriac, a humorless "stiff," a devoted husband, an incompetent college teacher, a man who feared nothing, a demanding officer who could turn barefoot infantry into the famed "foot cavalry." Reading about him in the 21st century, when we have no real heroes or role models, he seems like someone from an alternate universe. I suppose the worst thing that could be said about the book is that the author's task was made so easy by the subject himself - how could any book about Jackson NOT be fascinating?
