The story of Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. Wounded May of 1863 by friendly fire he died 10 days later from pneumonia. Arguably the greatest General of the Civil War and certainly of The South.

he was revered by Blacks, slave and free ladies fought for the buttons on his sleeves all the lines of blue he could easily deceive when his boys blood began to spill called to his men up on Henry House Hill "let us determine to die here and conquer we will he was a rock, he was my friend it was there at Chancellorsville he met his end he was so brave, i never thought he'd fall old Blue Kight never crumbled he was just a Stone Wall Into the valley marched so many guns he came outnumbered at least 4 to 1 Richmond was saved by the fightin' he'd done then the news came Old Jack did depart Lee cried "i've lost my right arm and my heart" and the "end state" wont work aint noone as smart he was a rock, he was my friend it was there at Chancellorsville he met his end he was so brave, i never thought he'd fall old Blue Kight never crumbled he was just a Stone Wall then on May 10, 1863 it was on Sunday his spirit did break free he drew his last breath and whispered in the breeze "let's cross the river and rest under the shady trees" he was a rock, he was my friend it was there at Chancellorsville he met his end he was so brave, i never thought he'd fall old Blue Kight never crumbled Tom Fool never stumbled he was just a Stone Wall x
