How fast could General Stonewall Jackson's famous Foot Cavalry march?

I like your reference of "old jack's foot cavalry". Just keep in mind that he did command infantry. His 1st Virginia Brigade marched so fast, that they were given this nickname. (Among other things.) His brigade was known to be extremely quick. Jackson pressed his men so hard, that some would pass out or even die of exhaustion. They were able to march about 400 miles in somewhere around a month. That was when the conditions were good, and everything was in the south's favor.

Nickname given to thomas Jackson at the first Battle of Bull Run?

Stonewall. It will never be known whether this was meant as a compliment or an insult. Brigadier-General Barnard Bee is known to have shouted "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall!" He is supposed to have added "Rally behind the Virginians.", praising Jackson's gallantry. Others claim that he was criticising Jackson for refusing to come across to help him. As Bee was mortally wounded a few hours later, it was not possible to confirm what he meant, but the nickname stuck.


What general is named stonewall?

T.J. Jackson. It was at the war's first pitched battle (Bull Run), where a Confederate Brigade-commander, Barnard Bee shouted "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall!" It is not known whether he was praising Jackson for standing fast or criticizing him for not coming over to help. As Bee was mortally wounded in the battle, nobody was able to ask him which one he meant!
