A very easy book to read, containing 254 pages, with a section of Southern War Poems at the end of it. Once you start reading it you cant stop. It has some great illustrated pics in it and as you read it, its almost like she is sitting there telling you about what it was like being Stonewall Jackson. She is great at detailing each situation he gets himself into. ( )
