Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson died in an outbuilding on the Chandler plantation in the rural community of Guinea Station. Today, the Jackson Shrine is part of Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park.
Born in what is now the state of West Virginia, in the town of Clarksburg, Thomas Jonathan Jackson possessed a strong military background at the outbreak of the Civil War. His training in the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, recognition as a hero in the Mexican War, and his experience as an instructor at the Virginia Military Institute justified Jackson's rank of brigadier general at the first major battle of the Civil War near Manassas, Virginia. Upon that field, General Bernard E. Bee proclaimed, "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall," and a legend as well as a nickname was born.

During my parents' annual visit, we planned an overnight getaway to Fredericksburg. On the way there, we made a side trip to the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site and the adjacent Lyndon B. Johnson National Historic Park in Stonewall, Texas.
After exploring the Sauer Beckmann Living History Farm at the LBJ State Park, we visited several historic buildings in the LBJ Ranch District of the National Historical Park, including the Junction School, shown here. When Lyndon Baines Johnson was 4 years old, he learned to read in this one-room schoolhouse located near his home. He returned as President 53 years later to sign the far-reaching Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
An informational placard located inside the school provided additional details on this historic structure:
One-Room Inspiration
Built in 1910, the Junction School served the rural inhabitants of Gillespie County for 37 years. Students walked to school to learn the ''3Rs'' -- reading, writing, and arithmetic -- in a sparsely decorated room heated by a wood stove and illuminated by kerosene lamps. A water bucket and dipper provided drinking water, and children brought their lunches from home in tin pails.
By 1912, when Lyndon Johnson began his education, Kate Deadrich taught 40 students here. Boys sat on one side of the room, girls on the other. The future president, youngest student in the school, often sat on Miss Kate's lap for reading lessons.
For the rest of Lyndon Johnson's life, education would play an important role. Inspired by his brief time in this simple schoolhouse, he would go on to become a teacher, and eventually as president, sign over 60 educational bills into law.
