The Blood of Stonewall: From Lt. Gen. Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson to great-grandson Col. Thomas Jonathan Jackson Christian, Jr., A Leg (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781977220844)

Over the past 120 years scores of books have been written about Lt. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. No books, however, have been written about his widow, Mary Anna, who lived another fifty years following her husband's death, and who was honored by five U.S. presidents. This book also details the life of Julia, who was but six months old when her father died, and was followed almost daily by newspaper reporters, both North and South, who sought to learn as much as possible about the daughter of the famed Stonewall Jackson. It further expounds on the lives of Julia's son and daughter, the only grandchildren of Stonewall Jackson. The book further covers the life of Col. Thomas J.J. Christian, Jr., Stonewall's great-grandson, who not only possessed many of the same attributes of his famous ancestor, but whose life was tragically cut short during World War II, leaving a widow and six month old daughter.
