The Old War Horse versus the Stonewall. Both James Longstreet and Thomas Jackson were two of the Confederacy's most successful commanders, but who was better? The Cedar Mountain Battlefield Foundation will be beginning our first debate series to decide the answer, with historian Greg Mertz representing Gen Longstreet and historian Frank O'Reilly representing Gen Jackson. Hear these two historians make their case for their respective commander, and vote on which general you believe to be greater--only one can prevail.
