    Description: 
    A portrait of General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, standing and facing south towards the Kanawha River. He stands with legs together, feet turned slightly out, head turned slightly to the proper left. In his proper left hand, he holds a saber in a sheath, with the tip touching the base behind his feet. In his proper right hand he holds binoculars at his side. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, gloves, a belt with a "CSA" buckle, knee boots with spurs, a knee-length coat, and a sash around waist with a tassel at back. His coat appears to be blowing in the wind. A cannon ball with flame rests on the plinth at his feet. He stands atop a two-tiered base -- a rectangular granite section atop a tapering marble platform.

    Owner: 
    Administered by State of West Virginia, General Services, West Virginia State Capitol Complex, Charleston, West Virginia 25305
    Located West Virginia State Capitol, Corner of California Street & Kanawha Boulevard, Charleston, West Virginia 25305
    Provenance: 
    Formerly located Old Capitol Building, Capitol Street, Charleston, West Virginia
    Remarks: 
    The statue was commissioned and erected by the Charleston Chapter No. 151, United Daughters of the Confederacy. The marble for the base was quarried at Genoa; the bronze statue cast in Italy. A replacement stone was later added to the statue in memory of Brigadier General Samuel Green, who was a West Virginian fighting for the Confederacy during the Civil War.
    This monument was first placed on the lawn of the Old Capitol Building. The Old Capitol Building burned in Jan. 1921 and the monument was relocated on July 25, 1926 to the grounds of the new Capitol, then under construction. In 1976, it was relocated to its current site on the new Capitol grounds. At that time, the statue was restored and turned on its bronze plinth to face Kanawha Boulevard. It now faces away from the original stone base inscription.
