Thomas Johnatan Jackson, born in Clarksburg, Virginia, was one of
the most revered of all Confederate commanders and Robert E. Lee's
most trusted lieutenant. A graduate of West Point (1846), he had served
in the Mexican War, earning two brevets, before resigning to accept a
professorship at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington
Famed for his suberp leadership of Confederate Forces, especially
during the valley campaign of 1862, Jackson was a Southern hero, During
First Manassas, he earned his nickname when in the tumult of battle
Brigadier General Barnard E. Bee claimed, " Their is Jackson standing
like a stone wall." In May 1863, Stonewall Jackson was wounded by
friendly fire at Chancerville, Virginia.. Following the amputation of
his arm, he died eight days later. Lee deeply felt the loss. "He has lost his
left arm, but i have lost my right arm".Product Code: tsj-b
