Stonewall Jackson, by C.F.R. Henderson, 714 pages and I've done 567. Great book!

Stonewall was among the top 5-6 generals of all time, along with Alexander the Great, Hannibal, von Manstein, & Subedai.

What does CFR mean?

Either "Certified First Responder" or "Customer Feild representative."

Could be an abbreviation of his names, eg Calvin Frederick Rushing.

Did you pick that up at Barnes & Noble, perhaps? I'm about 100 pages into that same book.

It doesn't have a copyright in the front of the book, but it appears to have been written around 1897 and provides a whole different perspective on the 'Civil War' (War of Southern Independence) than the modern, politically correct versions.
