This grand collection of paintings by the accomplished historical artist Mort Kunstler makes the past come alive on canvas. Generals Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee appear in most of the paintings, but not all of them. Union colonel Joshua Chamberlain's glorious charge down Little Round Top on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg is included, for example, as are portraits of General Ulysses S. Grant and others. What's more, Jackson & Lee isn't just a picture book, although it would be a worthwhile investment for that element alone. The text, written by acclaimed Jackson biographer James I. Robertson Jr., provides an interesting narrative about Jackson and Lee and their relationship.

Ingram
Robertson's account of the lives of Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee is portrayed with reverential attention to accuracy and detail. A stunning visual and written tribute to these two remarkable leaders, Jackson & Lee is both a biography and the story of their contribution to the Civil War. The 79 spectacular, full-color works of art in this collection include 44 never before seen in any book.
