    This is strange. This is a 1920 hand colored postcard of Stonewall Jacksons monument that was sent to one of his relatives, "George Junkin" and from "Aunt Julia".
    In picture #4 is a photo of Rev. George Junkin who became the father in law of Jackson.
    Confederate General Stonewall Jackson had been Junkin's friend and eventually son in law when Jackson was a teacher at the Virginia Military Institute, which also is located in Lexington. The movie Gods and Generals briefly portrays the poignant end to this friendship, at the start of the Civil War, when Jackson joined the Confederate army (taking one of Junkin's sons with him) and Junkin departed for Pennsylvania.
