Stonewall Jackson

Equestrian statue of Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson on Henry House Hill at the Manassas Battlefield. The battle of First Manassas (First Bull Run) was fought here on 21 July 1861. Jackson received the nickname "Stonewall" when General Barnard Bee (killed shortly thereafter) directed his troops to rally behind Jackson, who was "standing there like a stone wall".
