My 3rd great grandfather was a surgeon in the medical tent right next to where they were doing Jackson's surgery. Great video!!!

Stationed at Ft. A. P. Hill in 1988-89. I loved just driving around and take in all the history that is EVERYWHERE. Pre-Revolution to present.

The bed was there last time i was there. I drove up there from Richmond back in 1980s. Had my 35mm SLR camera. The park guide let me stay in that room after everyone else had left. I tried to take photos. I had been shooting photos all morning. But inside that room, the shutter button refused to work. I felt something mean in that room, so I hauled butt outside. Lol. Walked around a bit and suddenly my camera started working! Everyone should visit that spooky place.

Sure did enjoy this video. Had no idea the place where the General passed still existed. Glad to see the painting of the area at the time of death. Excellent video - thank you!

Thank you so much- great video!! I had always heard that the mantel clock was stopped when he passed, so the time was marked.

My Aunt Elizabeth (Chandler) Hayden was somehow the only family member left and inherited the property and also the Sterling Plantation about a mile 1/2 due West. I'm not sure of the family line tbh, I just know she inherited. She married my Uncle and they lived at the Sterling Plantation until my Uncle passed. I visited as a child and of course it was no longer a big money making plantation but they did use it as a farm. My Uncle worked at Dahlgren, Va. They kept chickens of all varieties, turkeys, and rabbits. It was fun to visit.

This is called Stonewall Jackson's SHRINE. That is the proper name for it. God bless!

About 15 years ago, while coming back from Myrtle Beach, I saw a sign and got off the interstate and found this by accident. It was very interesting.

Fitzhugh Lee was it Lee's son or his nephew. Both were named Fitzhugh. I'm quite sure i know the answer but I'm not positive

Too bad they took the bed and clock out. That was the most chilling part when the Park Ranger said to everyone to be quiet and all we heard was the clock: tick tick tick......to which the Ranger after several moments of ticking silence said, "this was the last sound that General Jackson heard before he died."

Everything that I have read about his death was he died in a upstairs room. So which way is it.
