The Stonewall Jackson monument at Bull Run. This monument to General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson is placed approximately where the General was when he earned his name Stonewall. As the Confederate troops were being driven back toward Henry House Hill in the early afternoon, General Bee used General Thomas J. Jackson's brigade as an example for his fleeing men. He said "There stands Jackson like a stone wall! Rally behind the Virginians!" General Jackson was thereafter known as "Stonewall Jackson." This monument commemorates this event and has the famous quote inscribed on it.
