I went up to Stonewall Peak last night to shoot star trails and Milky Way photography, but the clouds got in the way, so I decided to make the best of it and shoot some timelapse video while I was there.

Since 1828, a small, unassuming building currently known as the Jackson Death Site has stood ten miles south of the city of Fredericksburg, Virginia. The building was once part of Fairfield, also known as the Chandler Plantation or Guinea Station. Other buildings that once stood within the vicinity of the Jackson Death Site included the farm home, outhouses, a smokehouse, and barns. Built not as a residence but as the farm's office, this building had no fixed purpose like most of the structures around it. Instead, the farm office was used for whatever the inhabitants needed at the time: that could mean simple storage or indoor workspace or file keeping. The farm complex was owned by John Thorton and later the Chandler family. After General Jackson's arm was amputated he was moved here for transport by train to Richmond. During that time he would develop pneumonia and become to ill to travel. He would die here turning this farm into a shrine to forever remember a great general and man.
Stonewall dissolvable nicotine tablets in Java and Wintergreen; various brands & flavors of Swedish snus (plus one American-made by Camel). Snus are *sort* of like chewing tobacco, except they're NOT full of carcinogens (tobacco-specific nitrosamines) and DON'T taste like ass. These are all "portion" style -- little pouches made of teabag material filled with tobacco. I didn't think I'd like 'em, but I really do.
The Stonewall Jackson House, located at 8 East Washington Street in the Historic District of Lexington, Virginia, was the residence of Confederate general Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson from 1858 to 1861.
The house is a two-story, four bay, brick dwelling with a large, stone rear addition. It has a side-gable roof and interior end chimneys.
The house was constructed in 1800, by Cornelius Dorman. r. Archibald Graham purchased the house and significantly expanded it in 1845 by adding a stone addition on the rear and remodeling the front and interior to accommodate his medical practice. Dr. Graham sold the house to then-Major Thomas Jackson, a professor at the nearby Virginia Military Institute, on November 4, 1858, for $3000. It is the only house Jackson ever owned. He lived in the brick and stone house with his second wife, Mary Anna Morrison Jackson, until the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861.
It housed Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital from 1907 until 1954; when it was converted to a museum. In 1979 the house was carefully restored to its appearance at the time of the Jacksons' occupancy. The house and garden are owned and operated as a museum by the Virginia Military Institute from April through December. Guided tours are given daily, every half hour, from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30 P.M.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

Lieutenant General "Stonewall" Jackson's full name was Thomas Jonathan Jackson. Jackson was given the nickname for bravery at the first Battle of Manassas (Bull Run), "standing like a stone wall." General Jackson was instrumental in the Confederate victories at Second Manassas, Antietem, and the Battle of Chancellorsville. Jackson died at age 39, as a result of "friendly fire" at Chancellorsville in 1863, after some of his own men mistook him in the darkness and shot him. His monument was unveiled on Oct. 11, 1919 sitting at the corner of Monument Avenue and the Boulevard. His statue faces North with Jackson sitting on his horse holding his reigns in his left hand and his hat in his right.
The Junction School was constructed in 1910 and operated until 1947. It was a one-room school that was common in rural Central Texas; children from Kindergarten to eight grade were instructed here.
Lyndon Baines Johnson, US president from 1963 to 1969, was born nearby in 1908. He attended school here for a few months in 1912; the school closed early due to a whooping cough epidemic. His family moved to Johnson City by the start of the next school year.
Today, the school is part of the Lyndon B Johnson National Historical Park.
I really don't know if this building is still standing. I haven't been to Clarksburg in way too long. Hey, now I know what to do this weekend. :P
