On this episode of Our American Stories, he was one of the Civil War’s most gifted commanders—and one of its most enigmatic. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson moved through history like a myth in motion: calm in combat, withdrawn in peace, and utterly sure of his faith. Yet behind the reputation was a man wrestling with illness, loneliness, and an almost obsessive sense of duty. This episode revisits Jackson’s life through the eyes of those who knew him, the soldiers who followed him, and the historians who have spent decades trying to understand him. His story, like the war itself, refuses to rest easily.

Our American Stories tells stories that aren’t being told. Positive stories about generosity and courage, resilience and redemption, faith and love. Stories about the past and present. And stories about ordinary Americans who do extraordinary things each and every day. Stories from our listeners about their lives. And their history. In that pursuit, we hope we’ll be a place where listeners can refresh their spirit, and be inspired by our stories.
