Civil War memoirs, 1883

Scope and content:

The memoirs, titled "My Service with Genl Thos. J. Jackson" regard Thomas H. Williamson's assignment to General Stonewall Jackson's command in the Spring of 1862.

Note on the text by William Couper, VMI's "official historiographer" from 1934-1954: "This memorandum is written in the handwriting of General Thomas H. Williamson and is reproduced with the spelling, etc., unchanged. There is no date on the memorandum, but it was probably written after 1883 when Colonel Shipp began to spell his name Shipp (originally spelled Ship). It also must have been written after Jones wrote his Reminiscences, published in 1876."
