About this Book

"Stonewall is a powerful work of historical fiction that reveals many little-known facts about this extraordinary soldier as it vividly dramatizes the romantic, brutal, and glorious life of one of the Civil War's greatest heroes. This penetrating look at the man behind the myth follows Stonewall on his spiritual pilgrimage to becoming a devoted husband, a faithful Christian, and one of the greatest tacticians in military history. Blending historical fact with literary flair, John Dwyer weaves an incredible, heart-stirring tale of one courageous man who gave his life for the Southern homeland he cherished and the Heavenly Father he revered. Stonewall also tells about Jackson's mysterious and stormy relationship with Margaret Junkin Preston, who history knows as the 'poetess of the Confederacy.'"--Back cover.
