Genl. Stonewall Jackson's Official Report on the “Battle of McDowell” Contemporary Period True Copy a Confederate Victory Prior to the First Battle of Winchester Fought as part of Jackson's “Shenandoah Valley Campaign” of 1862 in Highland County, Virginia, an Eleven-Page Manuscript

(THOMAS J. "STONEWALL" JACKSON) (January 21, 1824-May 10, 1863). Lieutenant General (CSA), Jackson came to Winchester as a Brigade Commander in June 1861, when General Joseph E. Johnston moved Confederate forces there from Harpers Ferry. When Johnston’s troops were summoned to Manassas in July, Jackson’s brigade led the way. During the fight at Manassas, Jackson earned his eternal sobriquet of “Stonewall” after General Barnard Bee, trying to rally his men, pointed to Jackson atop Henry House Hill and shouted, “Look men, there stands Jackson like a stone wall. Rally behind the Virginians!” On October 7, 1861, Jackson received a promotion to Major General and was given Command of the Valley District; arriving in Winchester in mid-November and remained there until March 11, 1862; on May 23rd, Two days after Front Royal, Jackson’s troops liberated Winchester from Union control in the First Battle of Winchester. After victory in the Shenandoah Valley, Jackson went east to fight in the Seven Days’ Battles, the Maryland Campaign, and the Battle of Fredericksburg.
