Lee is quoted as saying. Stonewall was just an important figure in the southern cause. He was a fantastic military mind. Thank you for bringing this history to us.

Thank you for watching 😊

When I was a boy my cub scout troop took a field trip to the the Stonewall Jackson arm burial site... there was someone living in the house at that time as I recall, and a guide gave a tour of the inside of the house...The history lesson was mesmerizing to my 10 year old self... I'm going to be 70 years old this spring and I stil remember it vividly... What a great day to be a little kid.

@WalkwithHistory 11 месяцев назад

It certainly is a fascinating story. Perfect for a Boy Scout trip! 😁

@GpaEric5931 Год назад

I agree with you 100%. Gen Lee knew that loosing Gen Jackson was creating a void that could not be filled. I’m always saddened by Stonewall Jackson’s end.

@WalkwithHistory Год назад

Lee knew. That was his greatest General. The South never recovers from his death.

@GpaEric5931 Год назад

What a phenomenal memorial to Gen Stonewall Jackson. TY Jenn. Cheers y’all.

@WalkwithHistory Год назад

Thank you for watching and all the support. It was an interesting story to piece together, such an adventure!!

@mydaddysgreeneyes Год назад

Thank you for explaining why the arm isn't with the rest of his body. I had always wondered that. Great video. Always wonderful information and loved the music. Hugs!

@WalkwithHistory Год назад

Thank you for watching and as always all the support!! ♥️

@seanwiley558 Год назад

What a great video! I new how he lost his arm and that he past not long after, but, I had no idea that his arm was buried separately! I always enjoy your videos. Can Do!

@WalkwithHistory Год назад

Yeah it is strange but now a very unique American History Story!! Thank you for watching.

@tommyanderson-filmmaker3976 Год назад

Great job Jenn, I knew this would be coming soon, LOL. One of the few spots I haven't visited yet.

@WalkwithHistory Год назад

It was a great adventure. We will have to finish up with a visit to his grave in Lexington. Thank you for watching

Wow. That is great family history. Thank you for watching.

@Ntsu345 Год назад

I always wonder how things could have been different if Jackson didn't die. Great video.

@WalkwithHistory 2 месяца назад

Very interesting thought exercise indeed

@user-pj8oq3ns9w 2 месяца назад

Like all of your videos very well done. Although a history buff, I am above all a history buff since I was about 8 years old. Have been to Chancellorsville several times. The south was lucky that Hooker chose this moment to freeze up. PS I loved the hat. live in Michigan and have grown to love warm headware. Keep up the good work.

@WalkwithHistory 2 месяца назад

😂 My favorite hat to wear to stay warm.

Excellent video and educational. You look cold there. Come back to Memphis, we'll save you some warm weather. Very good job.

@WalkwithHistory Год назад

It was very cold but we had the place to ourselves so that is always nice. Thank you for all the support.

@JMPulido55 Месяц назад

Interesting information about Stonewall Jackson but why did you have to add that loud and annoying humming sounf in the backgound (3:08+).

@WalkwithHistory Месяц назад

Thank you for the feedback on the music. And thank you for watching 😊

@stopspammandm 9 месяцев назад

Interesting side note... the first use of the 2nd Confederate National Flag, a white flag with a small Red and Blue St Andrews cross canton, a.k.a. the "Stainless Banner", was to drape Jackson's coffin as he laid in state in Richmond.

@WalkwithHistory 9 месяцев назад

Cool. Thank you for sharing. I love all the interesting side notes. Keep them coming.

@stopspammandm 9 месяцев назад

@@WalkwithHistory FYI, we're the couple who met you at his grave in Lexington

@gregsayre4700 Год назад

The Battle of Beer Run was entirely different 😊

@WalkwithHistory Год назад

I love that I said that. I was laughing. Scott just kept it in there. LOL

@Navyrifleshooter Год назад

I have a copy of Rebel Yell here. I'll look and see if it list who Stonewall was with when he was wounded.

@WalkwithHistory Год назад

Thank you. I could not find that information anywhere. I would like to know where those men are buried that were killed with Jackson.

@Navyrifleshooter Год назад

@Walk with History In Rebel Yell, it says that a volley killed two men, one of whom was Jacksons Engineer Boswell. Stonewall Jackson grew up in what is now WV, as did I, and George Patton led what was originally called the Kanawha Rifles, later the 22nd Va. The muster roll has many of my family names, so both Jackson and Patton were subjects i read often. Heck, I found out I made CPO on board the USS Chancellorsville. 😀

@dstaugustinefl8832 Год назад

Wow did anyone ask if he wanted his arm. LOL

@WalkwithHistory Год назад

His wife was asked if she wanted him buried with it. I wonder if they would have dug it up then?

@R32R38 Год назад

Wonder if the arm was buried in a (small) coffin.

@WalkwithHistory Год назад

I do not know if there is an eye witness account of the burial, that would be interesting to know.

@gregdiamond6023 Год назад

Jackson’s death would’ve prolonged the war but I think the south still would’ve lost. Things started badly in the west. It didn’t have to be that way but that’s a rabbit hole for later. Lee was making a lot of mistakes. I don’t think Lee ever trusted Longstreet.

@WalkwithHistory Год назад

Yes I agree. I don’t think Lee trusted anyone like Jackson.
