Jackson Leaves VMI" The Cadet Corps had formed up early on April 21, 1861, in front of Washington Arch prepared to march to Richmond and serve as drill instructors for the new confederate army. Their eccentric professor Thomas Jackson was to lead the Corps. Ignoring requests to leave earlier than specified by his orders. Major Jackson gave his first command of the Civil War at precisely 12:30pm. It was his way. "Right Face! By file left, Forward March!" Starting down the hill by the mess hall, Jackson looked back at the Institute and Lexington for the last time. By the end of the summer, the Corps had trained over 15,000 recruits. Professor Jackson had become "Stonewall". •r' ' ' ^iij. I hoiiias J.
