It was the war's first pitched battle - Bull Run/Manassas. A Confederate General called Barnard Bee is known to have shouted "There is Jackson, standing like a stone wall!" Whether this was meant as a compliment, we don't know, as Bee was mortally wounded later in the day, and no-one got the chance to ask him. The popular interpretation is favourable, and it is claimed that Bee followed his remark with "Rally behind the Virginians!" The alternative version is that he was criticizing Jackson for not coming across to help Bee's own brigade, who were in trouble.
