Confederate General Bernard Bee, although there are several versions of this famous quote

"Jackson's nickname was first applied to him at the First Battle of Manassas on July 21, 1861 by Confederate General Bernard Bee. Inspired by Jackson's resolve in the face of the enemy, Bee called out to his men to inspire them:"Look, men! There is Jackson standing like a stone wall! Let us determine to die here, and we will conquer!" Exactly what General Bee said will never be known, but this version was published in the Charleston Mercury on July 25, 1861 and reprinted in the Richmond Daily Dispatch and Lexington Gazette.
Another popular version of General Bee's exclamation is"Look at Jackson's brigade standing like a stone wall! Rally on the Virginians!" This version appeared in several publications put out in the twenty-five years after the war. Yet another version of the quote was later put forward by Jackson's surgeon, Hunter McGuire, in 1891: "There stands Jackson like a stone wall! Rally behind the Virginians!"

Well, it was one of the 2 Confederate "Killed B's" at 1st Bull Run. General Barnard Bee supposedly said this, although there is some evidence he was being sarcastic and complaining that Jackson was not moving to help. Bee and Colonel Bartow both lost their lives that day.

Brig. Gen. Barnard Bee. What a name!

Edit - Correct, rosefiend (your name and location are pretty interesting, as well).

Welcome to the trivia game. Hope you'll come back and play again.
