The Life of Stonewall Jackson

By: Mary L. Williamson

Narrated by: Lloyd James

“In this brief sketch of our great Southern hero, I have endeavored to portray, amid the blaze of his matchless military genius, the unchanging rectitude of his conduct, the stern will-power by which he conquered all difficulties, his firm belief in an overruling Providence, and his entire submission to the Divine Will. These traits of character were the cornerstones upon which he reared the edifice of his greatness, and upon which the young people of our day will do well to build.”—Mary L. Williamson, 1898

Critic reviews

“There is plenty of action for thrill seekers and many examples of leadership's principles for students. The simple vocabulary and short sentences provide an ideal introduction to the subject for younger readers, and the book's quality qualifies it as literature worthy of an expert's attention….James reads with the intention of the author to produce four informative and entertaining hours.” ( AudioFile)

Historical Truth

This was a great read on General Jackson. As it still brings to light the other view of the civil war. It is hard to find readings that actually bring the other side's opinion to light. It was “Very Commendable”.

Old-time panegyric

19th century work of Jackson worship, very much in the spirit of Confederate post-bellum Lost Cause literature.

Well read but slowly.

Thanks to Audible for offering this volume free of charge.

Terrific primer…

About a great and Noble, American, whose deeds, sacrifices, and accomplishments should be mandatory in today's politically correct, woke and degenerate schoolS

Very interesting man of God

Just like Oliver Cromwell king David And others Stonewall Jackson was a man of prayer And that's why He won battles.

The book is way too short.

Great Historical Account

Wonderful account of Jackson’s life and times. Quite a man indeed. Detailed and fascinating account written in 1895. Military and History buffs will enjoy this book
