Stonewall Stonewall's death

[TCC]

The Confederacy was in desperate need of medicine. John Wilkes Booth smuggled quinine for fever and opium for pain to Stonewall Jackson. Stonewall Jackson was so impressed by Booth's contribution that he arranged a meeting with Jefferson Davis. That meeting was scheduled for May 2, 1863. When they met, Jefferson Davis made Booth a secret agent in the Confederate Army with the rank of Colonel.

A week after Jackson's death, Booth heard that he was shot in the back by one of his men. Upset, Booth investigated Jackson's murder. Booth believed he knew who killed Jackson—an eighteen-year-old who served three days in the stockade for insubordination. To get revenge, this eighteen-year-old shot Stonewall Jackson. Booth arranged to meet this soldier in the woods, where Booth took his life.

Do you believe the official account of Jackson's death?

Note:

Booth met with Davis on the same day Jackson was shot.

News traveled slowly. Booth was told Jackson was shot in the back. His information may have been inaccurate.

I'm happy to know there's some sense left on this forum.

As we know from those other frolics about Booth and Davis, that is likely to be tested here ...

I truly can't wait for whatever inspired this one.

As you can expect, they were confused.

I suspect - based on experience - that this has only started. Among many questions I now have is when and how Secret Agent Man Booth snuck into Washington as Davis's intermediary with Stanton to arrange for Lincoln's removal.

We haven't heard from the aunt in awhile. Remember, she has all the details about the conspiracy.

Used a pocket-sized cloaking device. Simple. My ACW ancestor told me in an acid trip.

Against my better judgment I accessed that. So Stonewall was actually running the Confederate Secret Service. This clarifies a few things. Do we know where Booth was when A.P. Hill bought the ranch on April 2, 1865? Has anybody actually verified that "Corporal John W. Mauk" really existed? Hill po'g the head of the Confederate Secret Service was, shall we say, risky ...

Oh, how I love this...

This must be why Booth shouted "Stonewall is avenged" as he ran across the stage at Ford's Theater.

Be nice to see your resources for your post. I do know General Jackson was shot in the front with ball and shot.

I also heard Booth shot J.R., but that's Dallas, not Davis.

Tbh these are the kinds of threads that make us look bad, or well worse. Just a diatribe with no let's call it a secondary source.

I said that when Booth heard Jackson was killed, he was told that Jackson was shot in the back. That is what Booth believed. I don't believe it, you don't believe it, Booth believed it.
Asia Booth told about John smuggling quinine into the South. Any quick search will give you information about it. You might check on the internet about Booth's service in the Confederate Secret Service. The information is out there, except for the when and where.
This explanation tells who, when, why, and where Booth became involved in the Secret Service. The pieces of information are out there, and I put the pieces together. You may judge how well I did.
