Confederate General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson was wounded at the Battle of Chancellorsville. His left arm was amputated due to the severity of the wounds. Though he was healing, he contracted pneumonia, which caused his death on May 10, 1863. Jackson’s final words were, “Let us pass over the river and rest under the shade of the trees.”
