Lot 119: (JACKSON, THOMAS J.)

(THOMAS J. JACKSON) (1824 - 1863) "Stonewall", Confederate lieutenant general and a brilliant yet somewhat eccentric tactician, he gained his nickname from his stand at Bull Run and served as Lee's right hand in the Seven days, in Maryland and at Chancellorsville where he was accidentally shot by Confederate pickets while riding between lines. A great war-date CDV depicting Confederate General "Stonewall" Jackson mounted on his trusty steed Sorrel. Famed artist, Louis Guillaume painted this scene of Jackson in a moment of triumph during the battle of Winchester on March 25, 1862 after which an unknown southern photographer produced this memorial card for public consumption. Very good. $300-500
