Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 16. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Stonewall Jackson
Stonewall Jackson's scabbard speech. By Wm. A. Obenchain, A. M., President of Ogden College, Bowling Green, Kentucky. Quaeque ipse——vidi, Et quorum pars magna fui.
While the Virginia Convention of 1861 was in session in Richmond, wrestling with the weighty problems of the day, and the grand old Mother of States was doing all in her power to prevent the terrible strife which her breast was so soon to bear, there occurred at Lexington, Va., a little episode in the history of those momentous times, which, though nearly resulting in a horrible disaster, would hardly deserve narration now, but for its connection with one of the greatest heroes of the Civil War.
Up to the time of Lincoln's proclamation calling for seventy-five thousand men, the prevailing sentiment throughout Virginia was decidedly for the preservation of the Union.
Notably was this the case in Rockbridge county, in which, at Lexington, the State Military School rears its imposing towers and embattled walls.
