 Lt. James Smith served as an artilleryman before joining Stonewall Jackson’s staff in September 1862. In the dark, early-morning hours of May 2, 1863 he observed the momentous conference between Lee and Jackson in which the two generals settled on the bold plan to send Jackson’s command on a long march to attack Gen. Joseph Hooker’s vulnerable flank.
 A Virginia Military Institute graduate and the younger brother of Jackson’s wife, Lt. Joseph Morrison accompanied the general on his fateful excursion into "no-man’s land" on the night of May 2. Morrison witnessed the tragic circumstances surrounding Jackson’s wounding by a volley fired from the ranks of his own troops.
 As Jackson’s chief medical officer, Hunter McGuire was the first to render aid to the suffering general after he was brought back behind Confederate lines. The doctor remained at his commanding officer’s side until Jackson succumbed to the effects of his wounds on May 10. |
