Lt. General Stonewall Jackson was a notable commander of the 9th Louisiana Infantry Regiment (Confederate). They fought in more than 20 engagements.
Jackson attended West Point and fought in the Mexican War. When the Civil War started in 1861 he led troops for the Confederacy. He got his nickname at the Battle of Bull Run the gunfire and confusion of the battle, Confederate Gen. Barnard E. Bee said, "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall." He was admired for his stubborn courage and earned his name "Stonewall" Jackson. He fought in many battles, was wounded by friendly fire at the Battle of Chancellorsville in 1863 and died from pneumonia.

Jackson & His Disciples - The Valley Campaign by Bradley Schmehl ~ Jackson referred to the four artillery pieces pictured as "his disciples." Their carriages were originally painted red and are shown as they probably would after having weathered a year in combat. Today the guns can be found on the grounds of the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. They were refurbished and their carriages restored to their original red coloration only within the last year.
