Civil War Auction
Lot 1032:
Description
Original CDV of Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. “May 1866” written in pencil on back. Overall, a nice image in near fine condition. Measures: 2-1/2” x 4”. Labeled as “Stonewall” for steadfast defense in the face of overwhelming Union barrages, he was also referred to as “Tom Fool” by his students at the Virginia Military Institute earlier in his career, because his students believed that he “could never be anything more than a martinet colonel, half soldier and half preacher” His lessons did not deviate, even when students asked for further explanation. The CDV here is of Jackson earlier in his career and was part of the Civil War and Indian War display at Donley’s Wild West Town Museum for 45 years.
