Jackson, Gen. Thomas J. (Stonewall) (?? - 7 MAY 1863)

Thomas J. Jackson, a Major General in the Confederate Army, in Eastern Virginia, was unintentionally shot by his own men, wounded mortally, and died of his wounds on or about the 7th day of May 1863, near Fredericksburg Va. He received these wounds in the second battle, near and around Fredericksburg. He had passed through many a bloody battle unscathed, but by the Providence of God, received the death shot by some of his men, whom on many an occasion, he had led to successful victory; and who would have battled with him and for him to the bitter end. General Jackson was no ordinary man, and his character and fame, will command no small place in the future history of the Confederate Staets of America. To the historian must be left the task of placing the virtues, the worth, and the great military fame of this Christian soldier, before posterity, as well as the present age. In very sense of the words, he was good and great, and his place, position, and command in the Confederate Army, cannot be equally filled. The God of battles has taken him from our cause, and our midst, may he therefore in his wisdom, fill the vacuum for the benefit of our beloved Confederacy and in his own good time, give us triumph in our cause, and a cessation of the horrors of this bloody and desolating war.
