Product Features

The scene takes place at Glen Burnie - Town Run Creek, Winchester, Virginia - January 1862.
General Stonewall Jackson and his wife Anna were reunited in the snowy month of January after the Romney Expedition.  The couple's time together would be fleeting and meaningful.
On New Year's Day of 1862 Jackson had led his troops on an expedition to destroy a concentration of Federal forced near Romney, Virginia. A heavy snowfall made the offensive arduous and challenging.  The retreat of the Federal Army and the capture of Romney and Bath, made the expedition a success. 
But General Jackson's thoughts were not far from his loving Anna.  After events had stabilized, the General headed back home at a quick pace. 
Arriving in Winchester, the General hurried over to the Graham home "as joyous and fresh as a schoolboy".  There he embraced his loving Anna.  Anna recalled his face "all aglow with delight".  He was home safe and it was time to celebrate his return and his 38th birthday.
On an evening ride together the couple stopped for a moment on the wagon bridge crossing Town Run Creek at Glen Burnie estates.  Anna pulled out two pennies from her cloak and tossed them into the reflective pool, hoping two wished would come true.  The General's wish was for success in his many challenges ahead.  Anns's wish was for  her loving husband to always return home to her safe and sound.  Only one wish would come true.
