In the book Gods and Generals he talks about Thomas Stonewall Jackson having a child but it dying after one month of age is this true?

This is a partially true story. Jacksons first wife, Elinor (Junkin) bore a son but the child was stillborn. Elinor would soon die as well from a hemorrhage attributed to childbirth. His second wife, Mary Anna (Morrison) bore Stonewall a daughter named Mary in 1858 but she died at one month old. The couple did have another daughter born shortly before Jacksons death and her name was Julia.


How did general Jackson receive the name stonewall?

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.
