My oldest son's middle name is Stonewall. An excellent role model...in my opinion.

My oldest son's middle name is Stonewall.

You should know that nobody ever called General Jackson 'Stonewall' to his face. He believed that the honor of that title belonged to the brigade he commanded since they did all the work and not to him.

Jackson had a cousin who rose to the rank of Brigadier General in the cavalry, William Lowther Jackson. He was known by his men as 'Mudwall' Jackson. True story.
