CSA Gen.  Stonewall  Jackson Funeral Memorabilia
<B>C.S.A. General "Stonewall" Jackson Funeral Memorabilia in 1863</B></I> consisting of three items: a small Confederate silk flag of 1.5" x 1" laid down to a blue sheet with the handwritten notation "worn at Gen. Jackson's Funeral"; two period southern newspaper clippings containing the articles "Funeral of Lieut. Gen. T. J. Jackson" and "Sermon Relative to the Death of Gen. Jackson." The death of the popular general on May 10, 1863 due to pneumonia and complications from an amputated arm was a major blow to the south, affecting not only its military prospects but the morale of the army and the citizens. As Jackson lay dying, Robert E. Lee is purported to have said "He has lost his left arm; I have lost my right."
