A monument in the Wilderness of Virginia marks the spot where Confederate general Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson was wounded on the night of May 2, 1863, during the Battle of Chancellorsville. Jackson had been mistakenly shot by his own troops while scouting ahead in the dark, and the wound led to the amputation of his left arm. He died of pneumonia eight days later, on May 10, a loss many Confederates saw as a serious blow to their army. The caption card gives no date for the photograph, but the monument itself shows the site was remembered as significant long after the war.
