Jackson fought poverty and sadness, rising to become one of the most extraordinary figures in American military history. His clever Civil War strategies were unmatched. While holding the line during one battle, he earned the nickname "Stonewall", and became a legend. From the world's most acclaimed Civil War historian, this is the complete story of Jackson's life.

Amazing Life
Revisado: 02-10-20
Jackson was truly an amazing person. A life filled with hardships, tragedy and triumph, he lived with a heartfelt love for his fellow man. Few people realize his devotion to the slave population in Lexington. Maybe this was because when he was a kid, a slave lady once told him about Christ and his love for him. Jackson never knew the love of a father and mother like many but he spent his life finding his place in the world. I appreciate Robertson's attempts to give us insight into Jackson's nature and the events of his life that helped shape this great general militarily, spiritually and personally. I would love to spend an afternoon discussing General Jackson with Mr. Robertson.
The narration was ok on a faster speed. However, at the given speed of 1x, the pauses between sentences by Mr. Garrett became too much. I do think Mr. Garret did an okay job and conveyed the intonations with great expertise.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking more knowledge of the many great men of the Confederacy and what motivated them.

R. E. Lee by Douglas Southall Freeman was the recipient of the 1935 Pulitzer Prize for Literature. It was a richly deserved honor, for Freeman's biography of the distinguished Virginian went on to become one of the most celebrated of all American biographies, a favorite of General George Marshall and President Dwight Eisenhower, among many others. Since his death, thousands of American soldiers have sought to emulate Lee's example of virtue, courage, and duty.

Classic
Revisado: 12-29-17
If you study the Civil War or you’re curious about the man, Robert E Lee, this is vol 1 of the classic Pulitzer Prize winner by Douglas Southall Freeman. The discipline that shows through is amazing. Freeman spent over 20 years researching and writing the four volume set. Can’t wait for the other three volumes on audible. This is a must listen/read and a ready reference for the student of the Civil War.
