During the Civil War and throughout the rest of the nineteenth century there was no star that shone brighter than that of a small red horse who was known as Stonewall Jackson’s Little Sorrel. Robert E. Lee’s Traveller eventually became more familiar but he was mostly famous for his looks. Not so with the little sorrel. Early in the war he became known as a horse of great personality and charm; an eccentric animal with an intriguing background. Like Traveller; his enduring fame was due initially to the prominence of his owner and the uncanny similarities between the two of them. The little red horse long survived Jackson and developed a following of his own. In fact; he lived longer than almost all horses who survived the Civil War as well as many thousands of human veterans. His death in 1886 drew attention worthy of a deceased general; his mounted remains have been admired by hundreds of thousands of people since 1887; and the final burial of his bones (after a cross-country; multi-century odyssey) in 1997 was the occasion for an event that could only be described as a funeral; and a well-attended one at that. Stonewall Jackson’s Little Sorrel is the story of that horse.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. and this has to be my favourite one so farBy Mike ShawI have been studying the concept of Hell for roughly 35 years; and I think I own almost every book on the subject; written in English; and this has to be my favourite one so far. Brown sees the truth; which seems to escape the so-called experts; and professors. It is very apparent to me; that Brown approaches his research with a unique desire to actaully know the truth and to know what is really being said in the scriptures; be they canonical or otherwise; this seems to be something the so-called experts and professors fail to do when they write on this subject. In my opinion; too many professors or clergy are afraid to be honest; for fear they are ridiculed; by their peers; for not following long held traditional views or for not adhering to the denominational doctrines. Free from the shackles of institutions that stifle the quest for truth; Brown lets his innate sincere desire to know the truth; guide him; in this case; with his book; Discover the Truth about Hell/Hades; Brown shares with us his findings on the topic of Hell/Hades... he presents these findings to us; in a very clear and easy to read fashion. You cannot go wrong with this book; the content and the price are both great.
