Examples from the Thomas J. Jackson Collection at the Eleanor S. Brockenbrough Library:
A "Jackson Collection" document written before Thomas J. Jackson became the famous Stonewall Jackson:
T. J. Jackson to Gen. Gideon Pillow, November 11, 1847; autograph catalogue. Written in Mexico, this is a detailed note in which young Jackson respectfully disagrees with Pillow’s distribution of men, and asks for various reassignments.
Then during the Civil War era:
T. J. Jackson to Col. Thomas Jordan, August 16, 1861; l.s. Letter regarding the flag of the 1st Michigan Regiment, captured at First Manassas by the 27th Virginia of Jackson’s brigade. Signed by Jackson.
