Stonewall Jackson (Sowers) by Charles Ludwig

Stonewall Jackson (Sowers) Reviews

  Doctor Doom

  I have read several books by this author but this is, by far, my favorite. I literally was touched to the heart by his biography of this great man. Jackson was eccentric, but he was also a man for the ages. He was indeed "Loved in the South" and "Admired in the North." A fitting tribute.
  It is especially fitting when in our day fools wish to tear down memorials to men like Jackson because of trying to apply their own views on those who lived over a century ago without knowing their hearts, their minds, or their situations. Should people be taught to hate a man who loved blacks and whites alike and wanted to help them get to Heaven? To ask the question is to answer it.

  I love how the author points out how hard it was to live in those days. They were not easy. I think what could make the book more exciting is to have a little more dialogue. Their was a lot but is talked about his life more than they had him talking in the book. I think the most realistic thing about this book was when they talked about the moment for stonewall Jackson. Their is a monument and i have seen pictures of it. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about war and history.

  I thought the beginning during his childhood dragged a bit, but after he left for West Point, the plot and the events really took off and I enjoyed the book immensely!

  This book is propaganda that completely ignores the swath of violence Jackson left in his wake for his entire life. The fact that he used the Bible to justify some of our country's most atrocious actions towards Native Americans and African Americans is disgusting; the fact that this book celebrates that is shameful.
