~ Stonewall Jackson
~ 1824 ~ 1863
The last words of Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson, who served as a Confederate general (1861-1863) during the Civil War, and became arguably the best-known Confederate commander after General Robert E. Lee. Jackson played a prominent role in nearly all military engagements in the Eastern Theater of the war until his death, and had an important part in winning many significant battles.
The serenity of a beautiful mid-October morning reflects in the Delaware River, showcasing autumn’s splendor in this shot I captured overlooking the river that straddles New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
This
view was from the Riverton-Belvidere Toll Supported Bridge, my vantage point on this picture perfect morning.
The bridge, which opened in 1904, links Belvidere, New Jersey and Riverton, Pennsylvania.
A Delaware River Town, Belvidere, one of my very favorite places, was established April 7, 1845 and is a charming Victorian town located on the banks of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers. The town’s name means “beautiful to see” in Italian.
Riverton is part of Pennsylvania’s Slate Belt.
