”Across the River and into the Trees” Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson January 21, 1824 – May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general |
during the American Civil War. A few moments before he died he cried out in his delirium, "Order A.P. Hill to prepare for action! |
Pass the infantry to the front rapidly! Tell Major Hawks"—then stopped, leaving the sentence unfinished. |
Presently a smile of ineffable sweetness spread itself over his pale face, and he said quietly, and with an expression, as if of relief, |
"Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees." |
