GENERAL STONEWALL JACKSON HOME IN LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA
We visited the home of General Thomas Stonewall Jackson, from 1858-1861, in Lexington, Virginia, that he lived at while a professor at Virginia Military Institute (VMI). Stonewall left this home to go fight in the Civil War, and sent his wife home to North Carolina to live during the war. Jackson never returned to his home.

Close up on the life of Thomas Jackson at the Stonewall Jackson House
Thomas Jonathan Jackson was a quiet, unassuming professor at the Virginia Military Institute before he rode off to his destiny in the Civil War. He left his family, a nice life in a small town and the only home he ever owned, which is now a museum.

Scores of people marched with Confederate flags in honour of Confederate Civil War generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson to mark Virginia's Lee-Jackson Day at the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery in Lexington, Saturday.
Participants in Civil War-era Confederate uniform fired a salute with their rifles at the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery, before laying wreaths and then marching through the town carrying the Confederate flag.
One rally participant Keith Hatcher proposed to his girlfirend Susan Lee, and was seen placing a ring on her finger as he clutched a Confederate flag. The first time I ever met her was here, six or seven years ago at one of these events. So this place is special to us. Not only for Confederate reasons but for our personal reasons also, said Hatcher.
Lee-Jackson Day is a state holiday in Virginia to honour the two Confederate leaders of the military and naval forces during the US Civil War. Virginia began observing Lee's birthday on January 19, 1889, with Jackson added to the remembrance events in 1904.

We're here to honour General Jackson and, of course, General Lee, who is buried at the other end of town, on Lee-Jackson day, which is a holiday here in the state of Virginia. That's what this is about, we're here to honour these great generals, stated one participant.

American Civil War - Lexington / Virginia
Die Stadt Lexington liegt im Westen von Virginia. Hier war der Bügerkriegsgeneral Stonewall Jackson zu Haus. Hier wurden auch Filme wie Sommersby oder Krieg der Welten oder Gods and Generals gedreht. An der Washington-Lee Universität ist auch General Robert E. Lee begraben.
Visiting the Site Where Stonewall Jackson Died
Travel with Trey to the site of Stonewall Jackson's death. Thomas Jonathan Stonewall Jackson was one of the most famous Confederate general of the Civil War. He received his name from Barnard Elliott Bee who called him a stonewall for his performance at the first battle of Bull Run in Virginia. Educated in the North, he became General Robert E. Lee's favorite general, and historians consider his death a turning point in Lee's own morale and enthusiasm for winning the war, remarking, I have lost my right arm. I am bleeding at the heart.
Jackson died of pneumonia although this malady was complicated by three gunshot wounds he received from his own men who mistook him and his troops for a Union patrol. His arm was amputated and given its own burial.
