Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson Early Civil War-Dated ALS, April 30, 1861
Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson (1824-1863). Confederate General. ALS as Colonel, 1p, 7 x 8.75 in., "Division Head Quarters." April 30, 1861.
T.J. Jackson, who would in three months earn the title "Stonewall," writes to Kenton Harper referring to Harper as "General." Actually Harper had lost the title of General in the militia on April 27 and was in the process of being made Colonel in the new Virginia Volunteers. The topic of Jackson's letter regards an order that Jackson thought Harper may have intercepted from Union General P. St. George Cooke. Apparently the order was for General Cooke to capture Southern supplies. At the bottom of Jackson's letter, General Harper has written: Reply made to this effect - I had received no orders. I was acting from what I conceived to be the necessities of my position.
