Today is the anniversary of the date that Thomas Jonathan Jackson earned is famous sobriquet. This blog is written from the mountains of Luray, Virginia, in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley where Stonewall Jackson performed one of the most brilliant military campaigns in history, the tactics of which are still studied by military scholars from around the world.

Having just completed a two-day “Stonewall Tour” with my father, brother Sam, sons Justice and Joshua, Brian Howell, Scott, David, and Kelly Brown, Mo and Howard Gill, Bill Potter and sons, and Matt Chancey and sons, I set into preparing for the 2003 Witherspoon School of Law and Public Policy.
