“Let
us cross over the river, and rest in the shade of the trees.”
~ 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.
