Statue of Stonewall Jackson

Thomas Jonathan Jackson was a general in the Confederate Army who earned his nickname at the First Battle of Manassas (the Battle of Bull Run).

 

Brig. Gen. Barnard Elliott Bee, Jr., of South Carolina, exhorted his own troops to re-form by shouting, "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall. Let us determine to die here, and we will conquer. Rally behind the Virginians!"

 

This statue is located in Manassas, Virginia, at the site of the First Battle of Manassas, also known as the Battle of Bull Run.
