Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thomas Jonathan Jackson, 1824-1863: A Sketch "Stonewall" Jackson was the product of life in the hills of western Virginia as it existed in the early part of the nineteenth century before the isolation of the hollows was broken by the coming of the railroads and the industrial development which followed. His great-grandfather was one of the pioneers of the Monongahela Valley; the descendants of the first Jackson had continued to live there; and "Stonewall" Jackson´s boyhood and youth were spent at the old mill which his grandfather built on the bank of the West Fork River not far below the mouth of Freeman´s Creek. The character of the great Confederate general is a mystery to the reader or the writer who does not take into account the fact that he was a western Virginian. Once realized, this fact goes far towards explaining points in his character which are otherwise inexplicable.
