Title:  Stonewall
Author:  Jean Fritz
Reviewer:  Jeff M. '11

The book Stonewall is a good book.  The book tells  of T.J. "Stonewall" Jackson's life.  This book has some interesting stories about him.  One of the stories is how Jackson got his nickname "Stonewall."  What happened was that his men were retreating so he yelled at them and told them to stay, so they stayed where they were and then a man said "look there stands Jackson, like a stonewall, let us go help him."  The man was killed immediately after that phrase but the name stuck. 

I would recommend this book to people who like history.
