The book offers an authoritative look at Jackson s life, aiming to portray a sympathetic view of the Southern cause through the lens of Jackson s experiences. It retains a polemical tone, defending the principles upheld by the Confederacy, and stands as a resource for understanding this figure and the era from a Southern perspective.
