Currently reading "Rebel Yell: The Violence, Passion, and Redemption of Stonewall Jackson" by S.C.Gwynne (author of Empire of the Summer Moon).
A non-linear biography of Jackson, and what seems to me to be an even-handed picture of his virtues and vices. So far, excellent discussions of Jackson's short US army career, his life as a teacher at VMI, his role at First Manassas, and his Valley campaign.
