Stonewall Brigade
On May 30th, 1863, the Confederate War Department officially honored the brigade that “Stonewall” Jackson had commanded at Manassas by designating it as the Stonewall Brigade, the only Confederate brigade to have an official unit name.
The brigade was commanded at Gettysburg by Brigadier General James A. Walker, A Virginia attorney who had been expelled from the Virginia Military Institute in 1852 for challenging Professor Thomas Jackson to a duel. There were aparrently no lingering issues on either side, as ten years later Walker would be an officer in Jackson’s Brigade, taking temporary command of it at Sharpsburg and being given formal command as brigadier general in May of 1863 after Jackson on his deathbed recommended his promotion.
The brigade spent July 2nd guarding the left flank of the Confederate army from Union forces around Hanover Road, a job that should have been performed by Stuart’s cavalry had they been available. This kept the Stonewall Brigade from assisting in the failed attack on Culp’s Hill at a critical period when most of the Union defenders had been withdrawn to reinforce the defences around Little Round Top.
By July 3rd Stuart’s cavalry had taken over flank protection and the Stonewall Brigade joined the fight at Culp’s Hill. But by this time the Union defenders had returned with additional reinforcements and the attack failed.

"Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (January 21, 1824– May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and one of the best-known Confederate commanders after General Robert E. Lee. His military career includes the Valley Campaign of 1862 and his service as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. Confederate pickets accidentally shot him at the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863, which the general survived, albeit with the loss of an arm to amputation. However, he died of complications of pneumonia eight days later. His death was a severe setback for the Confederacy, affecting not only its military prospects, but also the morale of its army and of the general public.
Jackson in death became an icon of Southern heroism and commitment, joining Lee in the pantheon of the "Lost Cause"
Military historians consider Jackson to be one of the most gifted tactical commanders in the nation's history. His Valley Campaign and his envelopment of the Union Army right wing at Chancellorsville are studied worldwide even today as examples of innovative and bold leadership. He excelled as well in other battles: the First Battle of Bull Run (where he received his famous nickname "Stonewall"), Second Bull Run, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. Jackson was not universally successful as a commander, however, as displayed by his weak and confused efforts during the Seven Days Battles around Richmond in 1862."

Jen and I went on an early anniversary trip this year (to avoid being too close to Jen's delivery date) to Stonewall resort in West Virginia. I forgot to get a shot of the place form the front, so here's the back as viewed from the lake.
