Robert Duvall and James Robertson

"GODS AND GENERALS"

James I. "Bud" Robertson Jr. was an historical consultant for the major motion picture "Gods & Generals," which is based on the novel by Jeff Shaara. Stephen Lang acts the part of Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, which draws heavily from Robertson's biography Stonewall Jackson: The Man, The Soldier, The Legend.
