The Last Days of Stonewall Jackson
We are making the presentations from our 2021 Annual Conference available to the public! We hope you enjoy.
The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.

Who needs TV when we have great entertainment like this?
I've watched a lot of ranger talks, seminars, addressing the Civil War. This is, by me far, is one of the most engaging presentations I have ever seen. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Congrats!
Fantastic presentation.
Excellent presentation
Very well done indeed !..thank you !....on sepsis versus pneumonia....sepsis was not identified in medicine until Louis Pasteur discovered same in 1879. Sepsis, as a bloodborne infection, [ grampositive or negative] can present itself in most any organ system , including lungs and therefore show as pneumonia symptoms. Dr. McGuire would have seen pneumonia and would have no way of knowing its etiology.[ sepsis ] and so, both terms could have applied.During the war . We saw many surgical patients go " quickly south " even with all of our advanced antimicrobial agents .Infection of all types, was always a high risk in hospital patients...and we saw it all....Dana..Vn Era disabled Veteran .Combat Medic/ Operating Room Surgery Tech. Dept. Surgery/CMS First Army MEDDAC ..big pharma rep . and pharmacy school training db

Sepsis is simply spread of infection to the bloodstream. He had pneumonia which evolved into sepsis.
Very interesting. Thank you. 🇦🇺
Well told. Bravo!
Great story telling, thank you. I have enjoyed it, thank you
Outstanding presentation, Chris, as is the book. We share a love and admiration for Stonewall Jackson.

did he wanted to preserve the union or destroy it? asking for a friend.
Mr. Chris Makowski is the kind of speaker that I would have loved to have for a history teacher. His passion for the subject, mixed with his humor is infectious. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this lesson. I'd love to hear more from him.
Really well told, riveting
Pneumonia is still a feared though much less common complication of modern trauma surgery. It can present with sepsis. Remember that this is in the days before oxygen administration, IV fluids and antibiotics. He was probably doomed from the start.
Great talk, very well done. I would make a suggestion. Some maps would be very helpful for those folks who haven't been there. I've been to all of the places you mentioned, and it still would have helped me. I am curious about Jackson's arm. With all of the details you covered, you never mention it allegedly being buried at Ellwood Manor. Am I missing something here? Is this a matter of contention?

I only made it 28 minutes in. At almost half an hour he still hadn't touched on the topic in the title of the video.
Great talk. There was no way Lincoln was going to let Fighting Joe face off with Bobby Lee again. If Jackson had been in Pennsylvania who knows.
God Bless Stonewall Jackson.
Great job, a historian filled with excitement and story telling talent.
I'm 13 minutes in and we haven't started talking about Jackson's last days yet... You know, the title of the video...

If Grant had been commanding at Chancellorsville it could well would have been another Shiloh. A “Lick’em tomorrow” moment. Union leadership here was very much complicit in creating the legend of Lee and Stonewall. Not very poetic I know, but hard to escape that conclusion.
Was Jackson shot in the long arm or the short arm at Chancellorsville? Great shooting 18th N. Carolina.

He shouldn't have been there! Jackson has only himself to blame.
Huh only person here who is in high school, anyways, he's my great great grandfather
A terrible story of history, wonderfully told.
Whatever happened to Stonewalls wife and daughter? Did the second wife remarry and live a long life? Did his daughter survive childhood and live a long life?

I don't think so. The wife wrote a book about her husband, and the daughter died of typhoid aged 26 or 27. Sad.
Didn't Thomas have a sister who was a pro-Unionist
Hey Mackowski, was this simulcast on WDRQ radio?
One can admire the man's personal courage, devotion to his faith, military vision and grit without falling prey to idolizing a deeply flawed person. He owned slaves and thought his religion sanctioned that, and that the natural place of African Americans was at the feet of whites. Lee was the same.
Material is interesting but he presenters voice keeps fluctuating high than low, almost to a whisper. Lecture would have been better with a consistent clear confident tone to it

He also rambles on for more than 20 minutes before even touching on the subject in the title of the video.
I've been to the house to listen about the history. I have no admiration for the Confederates.

@@jordanturner4759To add context by reminding people who love the American flag that he aided and abetted those who tried to do more against the U.S. and its flag than "take a knee". In my humble opinion, that wasn't very patriotic; he definitely wasn't a patriot 😔 .
