Jackson was hit three times, and a Southern bullet shattered his left arm, which had to be amputated the next day. Soon, pneumonia set in, and Jackson began to fade. He died, as he had wished, on the Sabbath, May 10, 1863, with these last words: “Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees.”

“Put the boys in, and may God forgive me for the order.” General John C. Breckinridge - Battle of New Market
when sending 257 Cadets from Virginia Military Institute who had been pulled in as "reserve". The average age of about 16. 10 were killed in action, or as a direct result of action. 45 more wounded.
following a Union retreat Breckinridge said, “Well done, Virginians. Well done, men.”
