Brig. General Elisha Franklin Paxton, CSA 1828-1863. "Memoir and Memorials…"

This is the great great grandfather of Bill Paxton, the actor.  Brig. Gen. Paxton was from Rockbridge Co, VA, (Rockbridge Rifles) and was aide de camp for Stonewall Jackson. He was killed a day before Gen. Jackson at Chancellorsville.  Bill Paxton relates this story in the June edition of Southern Living magazine.
 
I always knew I liked this guy!
