# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born January 21, 1824, in what's now West Virginia, Thomas Jonathan Jackson graduated from West Point in 1846 and distinguished himself at Chapultepec during the Mexican–American War. He taught at the Virginia Military Institute from 1851 until Virginia's secession in May 1861, when he joined the Confederate army. At the First Battle of Bull Run in July, his brigade's reinforcements and defense against a Union assault prompted Barnard E. Bee's comparison to a "stone wall" — the nickname stuck. Over the next two years he commanded with exceptional skill in the eastern theater. On May 2, 1863, Confederate pickets accidentally shot him; he lost his left arm and died of pneumonia eight days later. His death was a severe blow to the Confederacy, and his exploits later became central to Lost Cause mythology.
