Jackson & Lee: Legends in Gray: The Paintings of Mort Kunstler (Rutledge Hill Press titles)

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.
