Additional Details:
The Virginia Military Institute, founded in 1839, has won and richly deserves the title of "The West Point of the South." The valiant and courageous part played by the students of this institution in the War Between The States will go down in history as one of the highlights of this War. General Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson was a professor here at the outbreak of the Civil War and is buried at Lexington, Va. A monument in his honor stands on the campus in front of the main barracks of VMI
