It was at the First Battle of Bull Run, when Brigadier-General Barnard Bee shouted "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall!"
It is possible that this was meant as a criticism - that Jackson was slow in coming across to help Bee's brigade. But Southerners prefer to think that it was meant as a compliment to Jackson's stout defence of his position, and Bee is supposed to have added "Rally behind the Virginians!"
As Bee was mortally wounded later that day, no-one was able to ask him which version was correct.
