Thomas Stonewall Jackson Quotes

I read a so-so article in the History Channel magazine last night about Stonewall Jackson. The article was short, without much content. That said, I looked for some quotes from the great Confederate General and there weren't many good ones. It took me a while to wrangle this one up...

"Always mystify, mislead and surprise the enemy if possible...."


The quote is a testament to his military success. Jackson always thought it was important to outflank and surprise his enemy with non-traditional military tactics. This strategy however seemed to work best in smaller battles, which is where Jackson saw most of his success.
