The Blood of Stonewall, A Legacy of Duty to Country and Love of Family

BACK COVER PHOTOS:

Lt. Gen. Thomas Jonathan Jackson
“So upright was his life, so profound his faith, so exquisite his tenderness, that Jackson’s many victories are almost his least claim to be ranked amongst the world’s true heroes.”
– Col. George Francis Robert Henderson, British Staff College professor and author of the two volume series Stonewall Jackson and the American Civil War

Julia Jackson Christian
“The daughter of Stonewall Jackson may she live to perpetuate to future generations the lineal blood of her immortal father.”
- Richmond Examiner (Richmond, Virginia, February 12, 1866)

Thomas J.J. Christian
“I appointed a grandson of Stonewall Jackson to West Point because I did not want Jackson’s blood to be out of the army.”
– President Theodore Roosevelt (1911)

Thomas J.J. Christian, Jr.
“[Stonewall Jackson’s] distant heirs seem likely to continue his blood strain in the American army. A great grandson, Thomas Jonathan Jackson Christian, Jr. graduated from West Point in 1939, nearly a century after Stonewall graduated from the Army school.”
- Washington Post (Washington, D. C., April 13, 1941)
