Jackson looked at the men and his face darkened. It was his own Stonewall Brigade, the one of which he was so proud, and which he had led in person into the war. Their commander was standing beside a tree, and riding up to him he demanded fiercely:
"What is the meaning of this? Why have you stopped?"
"I ordered a stop of a little while for the men to cook their rations," replied General Garnett.
Jackson's face darkened yet further, and the blue eyes were menacing.
"There is no time for that," he said sharply.
"But the men can't go any farther without them. It's impossible."

Story of the American civil war told from the southern side. To be honest I just didn't see the appeal of Stonewall Jackson he was described as a military genius who inspired tremendous loyalty amongst his troops but he came across as arrogrant, uncaring and demanding of his men.

Even as an adult this was a fun read, despite being, like most adolescent books of this genre, decidedly formulaic. Sadly it, too, serves to inculcate boys with the notion that honor and glory is to be found readily in war. In the case of this book, just in time for the next one (WWI).

My copy is by Amereon House with 352 pages. This edition was limited to 300 copies. Acquired at Goshen Library Friends Booksale.
Finished today & am looking forward to Altsheler's other works. I have at least one.
The language was very flowery. The book most of the time described battle scenarios and what was happening in the war.

This book is for young teenagers and is part of a series of books that tell the story of the American Civil War via historical fiction. I read this entire series when I was about 12-13 years old. I have never forgotten them as they laid the basis for a life-long interest in the Civil War. The books
If you can get by the adoration of stonewall ,the glorification of war, the repetitiveness (Hector st Hilaire for instance) and that the book is about good old boys fighting to preserve slavery then its a decent read
This is a series about one Southern soldier who is followed throughout the Civil War. I have read two books from this series so far and find them to be action packed and well written

Interesting for the most part. I found the battle descriptions boring. Seemed to end abruptly.
