While setting up Windows on a new laptop it asked me the security question, "Who is your favourite historical figure?"
Without hesitation I typed "Winston Churchill".


Who's yours?

Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson.

cool, Nic, that is one for me to look up and restore the memory banks.


edit--OK, having done so, it is a sort of diverse personal history. Clearly raised to be Mama's boy, he seems to have been a kindly soul, although one of the worst military tacticians extant in the 13th century. Apparently, far more the diplomat than general, could be seen in some ways ahead of his time, in others a product of those times. Frankly, something of an overlooked figure in my European history texts, but they had the tendency to look at Europe with the 1100-1300 CE period sort of at the end of middle Western History and the beginning of Modern Western History. Thanks for jogging the brain.
