In this episode we discuss Thomas J Jackson's entry into Richmond with his VMI cadets following Virginia succession. He had no commission and no command until he was finally made a Colonel and ordered to take command at Harpers Ferry. Soon he and his brigade got their first combat experience at Falling Waters. Then Jackson achieved fame and the legendary status at the first battle at Bull Run (aka First Manassas). Following this battle he would be known henceforth and forever as "Stonewall Jackson."
