General “Stonewall” Jackson
In Memory of
General “Stonewall” Jackson
This tablet is erected by the Berkeley County Chapter United Daughters of the Confederacy to commemorate an instance of General Jackson’s remarkable bravery at all times in the face of the gravest danger.
On this site July 2, 1861, General Jackson was seated under an oak tree giving orders when fired upon by Federal troops. A cannon ball cut off a limb of the tree, but Jackson, unhurt, rode calmly away.
Marker is on Williamsport Pike (U.S. 11), on the right when traveling north.
