Description
Excerpt from Address on Alfred Moore Scales: Delivered by R. D. W. Connor (Secretary North Carolina Historical Commission), Before the Wake County Memorial Association, May 10, 1907, in the Hall of House of Representatives, Raleigh
Four and forty years have gone since the Spirit of Stone wall Jackson passed over the river and rested in the shade of the trees. ''i''he flight of this heroic soul marked the tenth day of May as an anniversary to be, forever hallowed in the grate ful heart of the South. The career of Stonewall Jackson better than the career of any other man perscmifies the South ern Confederacy. As the Confederacy by one bold stroke rose to a place among the powers of the world, so Stonewall Jack son at one bound leaped from obscurity to a place among the innnortals of history. The Confederacy in a brief spasm of glory dazzled the eyes of mankind by the brilliancy of its achievements; and Stonewall Jackson like a passing meteor across the dark clouds of war dazzled the eyes of the world by the brilliancy of his genius. Nd as the English poet declared of the Confederacy.
