Here is a book that the eminent Confederate chaplain, J. William Jones, who labored with the Army of Northern Virginia said, "should be in every library." Regrettably, biographies of men like Turner Ashby (1828-1862) are not in every library, but they should be in your library. In a day when there is a dearth of wholesome role models for youth, it is wise not to look at contemporary athletes and rock stars but to men of history--those who possessed real character--those who found succor in God rather than in a bottle, a pill, or the latest designer drug. This book Chronicles the life of Turner Ashby, which provides inspirational and exciting reading for all ages.
