He was a religious zealot, yet was bloodthirsty for battle. In spite of his religious convictions, most of his battles were fought on Sunday. He was highly disciplined, yet could ignore a direct order if he disagreed -- and get away with it. He was Robert E. Lee’s most trusted lieutenant, yet he felt himself obliged to none other than himself and God. Over the years the persona of Stonewall Jackson has attained almost mythical proportions. In life, he was almost impossble to know. Book #1 - Life and Letters of Stonewall Jackson (by his widow Mary Anna), 1895, 700+ pages I. The Old English and Scotch-Irish Stock ... 1 II.
