"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Happy birthday, Jackson.


Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson was born on this date in 1824.

Once you get them running, you stay right on top of them, and that way a small force can defeat a large one every time. Only thus can a weaker country cope with a stronger; it must make up in activity what it lacks in strength.  Under divine blessing, we must rely on the bayonet when firearms cannot be furnished.

Thomas Jackson
