The Generals Were Brought to Tears
Counted Cross Stitch Kit

General Robert E. Lee and Lieutenant General Thomas J.
"Stonewall" Jackson, both devout Christians, attended a religious
revival in early 1863 on an estate called "Belvoir," just south of
Fredericksburg, Virginia. They were said to have been "moved to
tears" by the eloquence of Reverend B. T. Lacy as he described the homes
from which the Confederate army had been drawn. Lee was wearing his uniform of
that period, with a standup collar and his three stars with no wreath. Jackson
was wearing a new uniform given to him by J.E.B. Stuart. It had a buff white
collar and cuffs and sleeve gilt. He was wearing the butternut cap with gold
trim that was given to him in December 1862. |
