Monument to Lieutenant General Thomas Jonathan Jackson.
The four sides read as follows:
"On this spot fell mortally wounded Thomas J. Jackson Lt. Gen. C.S.A. May 2nd, 1863."
"There is Jackson standing like a stone wall. Bee at Manassas."
"Could I have directed events I should have chosen for the good of the country to have
been disabled
in your stead. I congratulate you upon the victory which is due to your
skill and energy. R. E. Lee
General"
"Let us pass over the river and rest under the shade of the trees.
His last words."
