Following the Battle of Port Republic, the final battle of Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson’s successful Shenandoah Valley Campaign, Jackson and his men camped near Weyers Cave between the Middle and South Rivers. On June 14, 1862, he and his chief of staff Rev. Robert L. Dabney held a camp prayer service under the canopy of several large trees.
Over time the 350-year-old oak tree stood proudly on the edge of a farm field, located near Mt. Meridian in Augusta County, Grottoes, Virginia. This tree is believed to have been among those shade trees. In Shenandoah Valley legends, this giant oak became known as the “Stonewall Jackson Prayer Tree”. The disease weakened ancient oak was felled by high winds on May 27, 2011. The farmland and tree were owned by the Wilkerson family, and they knew the story of the old oak and had been careful to preserve it.This pen comes complete with a Certificate of Authenticity and a piece of the tree and a commemorative coin.Beautifully displays on a wooden pen stand.See photos.
