Chapter XVI
[175] This was the Barnard E. Bee who was later to win fame as a general of the South during the Civil War. During that conflict, he it was who fastened the sobriquet of “Stonewall” upon the Confederate General Thomas E. Jackson in his now famous charge to his men--“For God’s sake stand, men. Stand like Jackson’s brigade, on your right, there they stand like a stone wall.” Bee was killed in an attempt to hold his brigade in line of battle against a murderous fire in the first battle of Bull Run, July 21, 1861.--Hubbard and Holcombe’s _Minnesota in Three Centuries_, Vol. III, p. 238; Heitman’s _Historical Register and Dictionary of the United States Army_, Vol. I, p. 205.
