“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.

morning in the Lowcountry just before the fog burns off along the Colleton
River in Beaufort County, South Carolina on the first day of November in Dixie.
