John Paul Strain Hand Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Giclee Print:"Stonewall's Gold Braid"
STONEWALL'S GOLD BRAID
General T. J. Jackson & Jane Wellford Corbin
Moss Neck Manor, Virginia - January 1863
Historical Narrative
The great December victory at Fredericksburg had General Stonewall Jackson and his men in high spirits. For the next two and a half months Jackson's Second Corps would spend winter quarters at Moss Neck Plantation located 10 miles down river from Fredericksburg. Moss Neck was a sprawling 1600 acre estate owned by the Corbin family who had lived in the area for two centuries.
James Corbin had three sons and a daughter. All the boys were serving in the Confederate Army. James' daughter, Katharine "Kate" would fall in love with one of Jackson's staff members. The eldest son, Richard Corbin was a trooper in Company B of the 9th Virginia Cavalry. Richard's young wife managed much of the estate, and their five year old daughter Jane "Janie" had the run of the place.
Janie took to Jackson immediately, and the general always had a fondness for little children. Almost every day Janie would come over to the office to visit General Jackson. A close bond formed between the two. One day Jackson received a new officer's kepi from his wife Anna. The child was immediately drawn to the gold braid on the hat. Without much thought, Jackson cut off the braid with a pen knife and gave it to the excited admirer, saying "Janie, it suits a little girl like you better than an old soldier."
