All that was, or is now, desired is that error and injustice be excluded from the textbooks of the schools and from the literature brought into our homes; that the truth be told, without exaggeration and without ommission; truth for its own sake and for the sake of honest history, and that the generations to come after us not be left to bear the burden of shame and dishonor unrighteously laid upon the name of their noble sires.
Rev. James P. Smith, Last survivor of the Staff of Lt. Genl. Stonewall Jackson
