Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson was shot by his own men during the chaotic moments of an attempted night attack at the Battle of Chancellorsville. This shot did not kill him. He died of Pneumonia on May 10th 1863.

On his death bed Jackson is reported to have said these words: "It is the Lord's Day; my wish is fulfilled. I have always desired to die on Sunday."

His last words were: "Order A.P. Hill to prepare for action! Pass the infantry to the front rapidly! Tell Major Hawks..."and "Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees."

He died in a the office building on the Plantation of Thomas C. Chandler.
