Description
This photograph of the Stonewall Jackson Monument was made during a snowstorm at the Manassas Battlefield in Virginia. General Jackson rose to prominence and earned his most famous nickname at the First Battle of Bull Run (also called the First Manassas) on July 21, 1861. During that battle the troops of South Carolina, commanded by Geneneral Barnard Elliott Bee Jr. had been overwhelmed, and he rode up to Jackson in despair, exclaiming, "They are beating us back!" "Then," said Jackson, "we will give them the bayonet!" As he rode back to his command, Bee exhorted his own troops to re-form by shouting, "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall. Let us determine to die here, and we will conquer. Rally behind the Virginians!"
