Jackson, Thomas J. "Stonewall" -- Signature and Sentiment of the Confederate General (1824-63) Confederate general, the second best-known after Robert E. Lee; he was mortally wounded by friendly fire at Chancellorsville. Signature, "T.J. Jackson," preceded by "Your brother" on a 1 1/8 x 3¼" piece of paper, n.p., n.d. Matted with an engraving of Jackson, two cut-out stars representing Jackson's rank, and a name plaque, and framed to an overall size of 21¾ x 13". Jackson had one half-brother, William Wirt Woodson (1831-1875), from his mother's second marriage, but the use of "brother" here is probably addressed to a comrade in the military or to a fellow Presbyterian. Very fine. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP
