Hi, Jonah,
I honestly and sadly was not a history fan in school, that was 8 yrs ago, but I am going to guess anyways for you.
Is it B L. Armistead.
I could totally be wrong but thought I would give it a try.
You have a wonderful weekend,
Christina

The answer to your history question is General Stonewall Jackson.
At Chancellorsville, General Jackson, after receiving his fatal wound, recognized in the darkness the gallant Pender near him, and said, "You must hold your ground, General Pender, you must hold your ground, sir." This last command of Stonewall Jackson's was obeyed, and more, for in General Lee's report of the next day's fight, it is recorded that "General Pender led his brigade to the attack under a destructive fire, bearing the colors of a regiment in his own hands up to and over the intrenchments, with the most distinguished gallantry."
My son loves history. Maybe I can get him blogging and you two can discuss your love of history.

Thomas Jonathan Jackson, In my opinion, The greatest general who ever lived. He was a hero at Mexico city( mexican Amerian war) where he manned a cannon on his own usually manned by six men as he pushed it up the slope. He was a tremendous Christian and a great tactician and didn't belive in slavery. I am glad to see someone else who likes him.( By the way, A great movie, you probably have seen, about him is "Gods and Generals" it shows all his participation in the civil war until his death, and focuses on his faith using many great quotes he really said. I have probably talked too much. love your blog! keep it up!
