I wasn't sure exactly what to write, but here goes.  I have been reading a book called Stonewall Jackson.  Its a biography about his life.  He was an Confederate General during the Civil war, and is one of the most beloved generals of the confederacy.  He was born in Virginia about 1833.  He was raised by his Uncle Cummins Jackson after both his mother father and several siblings were wiped out by disease. He was a very awkward, religious man who lead a very strict life.  He amazingly got into West point with no real education and graduated 7th in his class!  He was a hero during the mexican war and after became a professor.  Thats as far as i've gotten so far in the book but right now I'm loving It.
