A statue of the famous Confederate General on Monument Ave, Thomas
“Stonewall” Jackson. He earned his nickname at the First Battle of Bull
Run by Brig. Gen. Barnard Elliott Bee, Jr., who called out either
“Look at Jackson standing there like a damned stone wall!” in anger at
Jackson’s lack of an attempt to help Bee or “There is Jackson standing
like a stone wall.” in an attempt to rally his troops back into lines.
