  • "Stonewall Jackson's Way" is a poem penned during the American Civil War that later became a well-known patriotic song of the Confederate States of America and the Southern United States. It was found in the coat of a dead soldier of the "Stonewall Brigade" after one of Jackson's battles in the Shenandoah Valley, and was said to have been written within hearing of the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862. It became very popular, but its authorship was unknown until almost twenty-five years later. The poem honors the famed Confederate officer Lt. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, and was written by John Williamson Palmer (1825–1906). Palmer stated that he wrote the ballad September 16, 1862; however, Miller & Beacham, who published the song in 1862, stated that the song was found on the body of a Confederate sergeant after the First Battle of Winchester, May 25, 1862. The title Stonewall Jackson's Way was used for a 20th Century board wargame published by Avalon Hill.
