Rebel Yell: The Violence, Passion and Redemption of Stonewall Jackson Free Audiobook Download by S. C. Gwynne


"This is the story of the man at the center of America's first major civil rights struggle. It is a biography that captures not only Jackson's physically punishing life, but also his political and military strategies. And it is a vivid portrayal of America's march toward equality, a story told through letters, military reports, family correspondence and personal diary entries."

Rebel Yell is the story of Stonewall Jackson, a man who was just as flawed and sickened by the violence he inflicted in war as he was redeemed by it. It is also a story of how war changed Jackson's life as a slave, how his love for his wife saved him from the place he once felt at home and how his generosity to fellow soldiers helped him find redemption.

S.C. Gwynne's Rebel Yell: The Violence, Passion and Redemption of Stonewall Jackson is a well-written history about the life of Stonewall Jackson. It tells the story of his remarkable military career and early death at Chancellorsville in the Civil War in 1862. At the time of his death, he was considered to be one of the most respected generals in the Union Army. Nowadays, many people have become aware that Jackson was also a slave owner who fought for white supremacy throughout his entire life.

The book is a highly detailed account of the life of Stonewall Jackson, one of America’s most decorated soldiers. From his childhood memories in the backwoods to his death at age 46, Jefferson Davis Gwynne tells how this humble country boy from Virginia rose to become one of the world's most celebrated military leaders.

In Stonewall Jackson, S.C. Gwynne provides an in-depth account of the life of his subject. Through extensive research and interviews with people who knew him, Gwynne illuminates the man behind the myth, a man whose story is as intriguing as the Civil War that was his life's work.

The American Civil War is often seen as a struggle between the North and the South. In "Rebel Yell," author S.C. Gwynne argues that there was a third side to this conflict: the Rebels, who fought for freedom and democracy, resisting the tyranny of slavery. However, these rebels were not just any group of people; they were black men, who fought not just to gain their freedom but to liberate themselves from enslavement in an America that had become morally bankrupt
