This is the statute of the imposing figure of Thomas J. Jackson astride his mount Sorrel. It is at the Manassas Battlefield National Park in Manassas, Virginia. The statue commemorates the point during the First Battle of Manassas when this Confederate commander stood "like a stone wall" against Union soldiers and ultimately, is credited for inspiring Confederate troops to victory that day.
The Battlefield is a worthwhile visit - to stand on the fields that began the nation's war with the greatest mortality was quite sobering. And, yet, the place is beautiful and stands much as it did 150 years ago.

Gravesite of Lt. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, located in the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery in Lexington, VA. The statue of Stonewall Jackson was sculpted by Edward V. Valentine and dedicated July 21, 1895. Jackson and his family are buried beneath the statue.
Visitors to the gravesite frequently leave lemons at the site, remembering Stonewall's supposed fondness for the fruit. In actuality, Jackson had no particular fondness for lemons, he ate whatever fruit was available, which frequently included lemons from captured Federal stores. His favorite fruit were peaches.
