Under The Shade Of The Trees: Thomas (Stonewall) Jackson's Life at Jackson's Mill

Tom Jackson was orphaned at an early age, was awkward, shy and labeled by some as slow to learn. This is the story of the exceptional boy who, through determination, hard work and a little good luck, overcame his disadvantages to become the legendary General Stonewall Jackson, an honored leader of men.
