From Fall 2008 Douglas Dispatch of Camp Douglas 1507 Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans.
(Camp Douglas was an infamous Confederate prison in Chicago during the war.)
As most know, "Stonewall" Jackson died as a result of friendly fire after being wounded at Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863, bu unknown members of the 18th NC. He died May 10th.
The order to fire was given by Major John D. Barry and Jackson was struck by three bullets. Barry died two years after the war at age 27 and his family always believed it was a result of depression and guilt as a consequence of giving the order to fire.
