Stonewall Jackson Bust

This bust of Stonewall Jackson is located in the rotunda of the West Virginia State Capitol Building in Charleston, WV. Stonewall Jackson was one of the most brilliant army minds of all time. He was a major general for the Confederacy during the Civil War. West Virgina would become a Union state however. The reason his bust is here is because Jackson was born in Clarksburg, Va which is now part of West Virginia. Jackson was born in 1824, West Virginia didnt break away from Virginia and become its own state until 1863.
