    The state History Museum has acquired a Confederate battle flag carried by the North Carolina regiment responsible for accidentally shooting Lt. Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson.

    I definitely plan on checking this out. Last fall we ventured to Fredericksburg to visit family and we stood on the site where Stonewall was shot, we visited the grave of his arm (I kid you not!), and lastly visited the home where he died.

    Thanks for reminding me... we have an old flag we need to dig out of packing boxes.
