The Grave of Stonewall Jackson's Arm? Ellwood Manor | Overland 160 

Put all the Preserves in, NOW

There is also an equestrian statue of him at the courthouse in Clarksburg WV, his birthplace. Also the resort and even hospital system here are called Stonewall Jackson. I'm from VA but now live in WV, I consider it still VA lol.

Loyal East Tennessee also wanted to rejoin the union as the state of "East Tennessee" ! 💕 💥 🇺🇸 💥

@nickroberts-xf7oq I didn't know that about East Tennessee. West Virginia split from Virginia right in the middle of the Civil War 20 June 1863. West Virginia was loyal to the Union, BUT there were many Confederate Troops in West Virginia.

@usmc-veteran7316 Yep, Tennessee was the last state to secede and the first state to rejoin, mainly because of east Tennessee. 🇺🇸 "We" didn't even want the issue of secession to be voted on, but were out voted by Middle and West Tennessee.

@@usmc-veteran7316 I would say many counties in current West Virginia were loyal to the union, while other counties were not. Most of eastern WV did NOT support the Union, neither did some counties in the West, which is odd-- like for some reason Wetzel County which borders Ohio was very pro-Confederate. Sometimes the dividing line was between houses or between towns. By the way the first land battle of the war was in WV-- Phillippi. I know a guy who is descended from the soldier who fired the first shot of the war, he still has the original rifle.

How did everything look compared to your memory?

Jackson's last words: "Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees."

Wow! What trip is next?

@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust Anything that I can have Mr. Garry Alderman comes along with me to help discuss the battlefield. Heck, I'd even buy him a nice lunch and dinner to boot.

Yes they did excavate around the marker and found nothing of interest. Now let's do what ifs .. if JP Smith knew where the arm was located did he place the marker on top of it, or purposely away from it to hide. In 1863 There was nobody buried in the corner of the cemetery opposite the marker and Boswell was buried too .... hmmmmmm

@@markleach116 It don't think it would be too difficult to use modern ground penetrating radar to look for it.

Not certain of this, but I always thought it was called "Overland" by historians in general, in contrast to McClellan's Peninsula Campaign of 1862. McClellan's goal was capturing Richmond, and he chose to get closer to it via an indirect water route, hoping to avoid the slugfest Grant faced by going more directly south over land . Lincoln didn't like McClellan's strategy, thought going over land was the better approach, but gave McClellan benefit of the doubt. McClellan being McClellan squandered the opportunities his campaign gave him. Grant being Grant didn't care about getting close to Richmond, he was all about engaging Lee and the ANV, and destroying them, so his campaign was Overland from the beginning since that's where Lee was. Can't believe how poorly covered this campaign is in Civil War histories, it's like "Grant moved south and boxed Lee in around Richmond". To me, it's one of the most important campaigns of the entire war and the one that led directly to Confederate surrender. So glad ABT is covering it at this level of detail, long overdue!
