Stonewall Jackson Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson was a Confederate lieutenant general in the Civil War. Only General Robert E. Lee occupies a higher place in respect and admiration In the Battle of First Bull Run (First Battle of Manassas). Infantry under South Carolinian brigadier general Bernard Bee had been engaged for some time and were falling back; Jackson’s brigade was in reserve. Bee told his men, "There stands Jackson like a stone wall," Aware Federal cavalry was in the area, the North Carolinian Calvary mistook the Jackson and his men for enemy horsemen and opened fire. From somewhere, probably the men of the 18th North Carolina, came another volley. Jackson was hit in his right hand and left wrist. A third ball broke his upper left arm. He died May 10, 1863 from the injuries received in the friendly fire accident Directory: userfiles -> 510 -> Classes -> 41918 userfiles -> Title: Associate Professor userfiles -> Chief Patron Shri Avinash Dikshit Commissioner Patron userfiles -> Iccf congress, seixal, portugal 5th to 12th October 2002 userfiles -> Unit 1: Exploration and Colonization userfiles -> Ap united States History Course Description userfiles -> Note: Please look through resources very carefully.
