The Stonewall Jackson Shrine is the plantation office building near Guinea Station where General Thomas J. Jackson died on may 10, 1863. The office was an outbuilding on Thomas C. Chandler Fairfield plantation. This truly was a huge blow to the Confederates.
Yes, unfortunately, Lee had most of the best military leaders. Lincoln had Winfield Scott, but he was too old and infirm by 1863.
